I am exhausted but it was sooo nice in the sunshine, roll on spring.

Well done you - isn't it a great feeling when you achieve so much. A bad cold and bad weather has prevented me from going up the lottie - it is very wet so there is not much I can do anyway, but it is still nice to just go and have a look.
Have set out all my pototoes to chit - just need to get some late main crop now.
Cleaned the chickens out and spent time hand feeding them and general wasting time watching all their antics.
Cooked and ate a traditonal rabbit stew - the rabbits I had gutted, skinned and frozen myself, have bought them for 50p each. All the veggies in the stew were home grown, which is very satisfying. To be self sufficient vegetables and summer fruit after only 2 years of the alloment, I would never have dreamed possible. So all the hard work and preparation is worth in.
