I believe the weatherman’s words last night were something like this….”Tonight there may be a few light showers, but they will be very few and far between”. Hold on to that thought. Well at, I don’t know what time this morning (it was still dark) the heavens opened and it absolutely poured down. Great for the garden, and I didn’t mind as I was tucked up in bed. However, I was expecting sun again for the whole day, but at about 11am there I was in my shorts doing more of my raised beds, and the sky came over very dark and it really rained for a long time. It was quite pleasant to start with, but then it got heavy and cold. Luckily I’d taken my jumper down with me, so I had to put that on. I carried on for quite a while, and then decided that I would sit in the car and have my lunch and wait for the rain to stop. It did, so after I resumed with more hammering and nailing (got the longer nails now). Then it started raining again, so once I’d finished all the wood I had, I packed up and came home for a well earned cup of tea. I’ve now done 5 raised beds, and they’re looking good. Just make sure you don’t accidentally let go of the hammer in mid swing, as I did and it came bak and caught my shin bone…ouch!! I’ve now got a lovely little bump and I’m sure a bruise will appear. More war wounds from the allotment.
