Went to my plot yesterday, I was only going to pop in for 1/2 hour.....3 hours later, I had mowed and edged all my grass paths, cut back or pulled up a lot of plants that had gone over, generally had a good tidy up. So much for all those indoor jobs I needed to do!!!
Went to the allotment yesterday done a small bit of digging more rubbish found and a kinda stepping stone found under lots of soil so that will be handy
Also did a bonfire well a small one bit started was a bit windy so did not last long so did not do much and ran out of matches gave up for another day a dry and not too windy day - went wood collecting today found some more fence posts
I'm ever so envious. Not been able to go to the plot again.
Blue sky's this morning but by the time I got home mid afternoon it was raining again. There are threatened land slides in Cumbria. Three weeks of rain fell there in one day.
