Sunday 17 March – Everybody needs good neighbours

Thankfully, the weather has continued to be kind and, despite the poor forecast and outlook when I wrote last week’s blog, there have been a number of dry days that enabled me to continue some of the work I had begun last week. That was focussing my attention on the south west corner of the…

Sunday 10 March – More-tensia

Having said in last week’s blog that the ratio between wet and dry days was beginning to improve the start of this week began a little damp again. It forced me to remain indoors and, finally, complete the major project of taking down all the Christmas decorations and pack them away in the store room. …

Sunday 25th February – Soggy Doggies

The last sentence of my previous blog said that the forecast for the start of the week was for drier weather.  It was – for a day! On that dry Monday I continued to cut hedges and completed the longer of the 2 which surround Granary’s garden.  It is one where honey-fungus is slowly taking…

Sunday 18 February – No Time Like the Presents

I am pleased to say the last 7 days have been much more productive and also more fun than the previous few. Perhaps more fun, isn’t quite accurate, but it has been a week of gift giving.  Last Monday (12th) was David and my anniversary.  We’ve made it to 14 years in our relationship (somehow!)…

Saturday 30 December – Bonne Année

Having written my previous blog last Saturday, so that I didn’t need to on Christmas Eve, I had to do it in a bit of a hurry.  Having re-read it, it became clear that my spelling and grammar, not perfect at the best of times, suffered!  Also, force of habit made me write that it…

Sunday 23 December – Joyeux Noël

I promised last Sunday that I would try and write a Saturday blog with tomorrow, and next Sunday, being significant dates.  I have managed, but will keep it short! We have had a productive week and think we are now definitely back on track for our schedule for the festive period – that’s not to…
