Marion you really are an inspiration I'm going to take a bit of your medicine and get out in the garden today, not sure where to start but it'll make me happy.
Our drab, drear sky in Brietol is gradually brightening and i can feel my spirits lifting. We did need the rain in Bristol for the gardens so that was a plus but it was so dark this morning i thought it might be another writing day and i had made up my mind when April came I would only write when it was too dark to garden. I don't mind gardening in the rain as it makes the weeds easier to pull but the dark under my loads of trees is a no-no. I surround myself with plants in the house during the winter, lots to eat like salads and herbs and flowers to remind me of what is to come. Here is a corner of my kitchen right now.
Marion my kitchen's starting to look like a potting shed! I bought a table a few days ago with the intention of eating at it.....it's covered in seeds and pots We're to get the rain on Thursady here I think.Getting too used to the dry days though!
Have to back to work now and it's beautiful outside and warmer...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Lucky you Fairygirl. Chilly and wet today. My kitchen looks beautiful, no plants, but discovered the cooker is white as is the floor and I have work surfaces. Now for the hoovering.
Yes, I decided if we are going to have dull days I need to clean the windows and mirrors and pictures that have glass fronts so the house now smells of vinegar and washing up liquid as that is what i use to clean glass. All except the kitchen which now smells of my lovely pasta ake for my lunch. As I have a committee meeting in my lounge tonight i must not get tired in the garden . Need all my wits about me.
Pasta bake sounds good Marion! Contemplating what to do with chicken for dinner Roast pork last night was not very good-too fatty (made lots of apple sauce which was nice though!) Chicken and roast veg soup was very tasty!
Tina my kitchen looks nice at the 'business' end (I like a tidy workspace!) but the other end looks like an allotment!

Still feeling happy! Weather is lovely and I managed to drive peacefully to and from the allotment this afternoon - school holidays, hence no 'mad women' hurtling dementedly around the town, getting hysterical in their Chelsea Tractors, as they realise they are running late to pick up the little darlings. Such a sunny,placid day - only thing missing was the bees buzzing in the garden; bit early yet I think.
The moles are ruining the Roadside border, the badgers have dug up and eaten all the tulips in the bottom area, I bought too small a net for the Fruit cage, I have bitten my tongue badly and it hurts and I am still HAPPY. Worked outside all day, the Pulsatillas are just about to flower and we have been married 44 years yesterday. What could be better?
Berghill- how lovely to have been married 44 years. I've been divorced three times and always envy people who find someone and then spend years and years happily together.
Still I'm happy that the weather seems to have changed at last

Will be all ready for when the sun shines again.
