Love the look of those pasties Dove but can't bake till I get an oven installed and by then it'll be too hot. Been out there in sleeveless t-shirt most of the afternoon and actually sat and sunned ourselves when we stopped for a coffee.
I found some daffs growing in the former donkey paddock which is to be the potager so took the old abandoned wheelbarrow we found here to bring them back after digging them up. It squeaked appallingly so I sprayed its wheel with WD40. Easy. What did OH say? Just swap it with the real one that's holding up pallets in the corner where Rasta doggy escapes through a gap in the hedge. Typical! I told him to fix the hole instead. Been waiting since November.
He has had the mower out and has also cleared away all my hackings from yesterday and thinned some more of the ginormous bamboo. I have planted out about 50 rescued daffs along with two shrubs after we cleared a small bed for them and bunged on 140 litres of multi-purpose compost. The lilac that is left in that bed will probably faint at being weeded, fed and watered.
Tingling now. The daffs were in a patch of nettles.
Hosta - those frogs are a bit early aren't they?

There were none there yesterday when I brought some spawn up from the lake ( to keep it safe from the ducks ) They're pretty noisy once they, erm, get going.

HI GWRS congrats on the win for Lincoln City
Dove they look wonderful!! I must dig up some courage to try making pastries myself.
Home made burgers tonight. I have the strangest of cravings for minced beef! Can you even get cravings for minced beef? Most odd.
It feels a very odd world right now. So much happening. So little certainty.
I'm trying to find a land army girl pair of dungarees for an event in March. I hope you all have more exciting Saturdays!
Oh my word, just caught up with the football scores - GWRS, you must be over the moon ? ???
Afternoon all you chatterboxes.
We had planned to do some weeding near the pond to-day, but these guys had other plans.

sorry, first one was a bit fuzzy. Must stop taking photos from indoors , but I didn't want to freak the wee guys out.
There were over a dozen at one point, erm, .... going for it.

When I was a child there was a big pond across ghe farmyard. I could hear the frogs croaking when I was in bed in the evenings.

After a break, they're all back for second helpings.
