        I cant believe this!!!!

        I can get into my new plot tommorrow and I wont be able to do anything cuz its forecast to be wild and stormy until SUNDAY!

        The grass will be too wet to work so I'm looking at next week!!

        OMG! This is really trying my patience!
        Serene she stand amid the flowers,
        And only count lifes sunny hours,
        For her dull days do not exist,
        Evermore the optimist

            It's gale force here, had to keep all my seedlings indoors or they'd be scattered all over the country by now

            Nags coming back in AGAIN tonight, chooks are happy cause the stable doors are open and they can scrabble around in them.

            COME ON SPRING..........

                  It's been really crazy weather here today, sunshine one minute, black skies the next. The wind was rattling windows last night, but it's dropped a bit now, and it's reeeally cold! I noticed my tulip's leaves looking quite big today though, so they must think Spring has started

                      My Nags (yup, four-legged fertilizer machines) are still in at night, but only until this wind dies down. I thought the stable roof was going to take off yesterday The Chooks are fed up being blown from one side of the garden to the other, and keep looking at me as if it's my fault

                        Yesterday was brilliant sunshine all day, today its dull and windy but so far no rain, I have spent another day at the lottie. I put my spencer mix sweetpeas on one side of the gate same as I did last year, and Mrs Bolton on the otherside, last year I put my sunflowers there but they damaged the fence. I have loads of sweetpeas and I think I might put them along the fence at the sides in colour blocks.
