Kent was a beautiful gorgeous spring day, warm winds and hot sun all afternoon. Got stonking loads done since I'm work next five days and took delivery of breeze-blocks, bark chippings and gravel for retaining wall and mulching.
Blackbirds nesting same as last year, robins underneath them, blue-tits somewhere tho I haven't yet discovered where, loads of bees buzzing around and a tom cat who looks at me as though I'm on his turf !
All I need now is a hedgehog or some toads and I'd be all set for a slug free summer
P.S and the best news of all, I just got an allotment that I'm going to be sharing with me dad. I'm so happy.
Stockton, started cloudy in fact went quite dark I thought we would get a storm now the sun is shining, part cloud part clear. Wintersong, good luck with the allotment, still time to get a crop in Autumn and plenty of salad.
Another hot,sunny day in the Chilterns - good day at the allotment, everything coming through - parsnips,beet root,peas, all showing now, and cauliflower,broccoli and primo plants just gone in. Last of the Desiree go in tomorrow.

Sun sun and more sun. Have been to allotment this morning and even put sun cream on my face. !st time this year.
Sun and cloud in Dordogne 18°.
Sun first thing today. Clouded over by early afternoon for the rest of the day. Warm though, much less wind & from a better direction.

This is what gardening's all about!
WManchester- dull most of the day, actually brighter now. Got to 15-16C this afternoon.
Both coldframes now open all day & 'just' overnight. That looks as if it'll all change for this w/end.

Had a mist here all day- would have been nice just a little inland, we often seem to get mist which hangs around all day.
Stockton dull wet and warm.
