Wednesday 2nd April 2014 – I haven’t used those muscles for a while!
Now I’m quite a strong little lass, after all I’m a church bell ringer, so I regard myself as being fairly strong on the upper part of my body. Bell ringing is very good for you as it exercises all … Continue reading

Monday 17th March 2014 – Wow my Leeks are amazing!
The allotment seems to have dried out nicely, so today I started sowing some seeds. But first I had to dig up all my leeks. They’ve all grown amazingly well, and I’m so chuffed. The seasons before were a bit … Continue reading
Friday 14th March 2014 – Brassicas and other things!

Monday 10th March 2014 – And so it begins again!!
What a lovely way to spend the afternoon, in the greenhouse sowing seeds. Even though the sun wasn’t shining all the time, it was lovely and warm inside my greenhouse, especially as I had a huge cup of tea with … Continue reading
Saturday 1st March 2014 – I hope that’s enough Onions and Garlic for this year!
I should have done this a couple of weeks ago, but life has just been really busy. But today turned out to be the perfect time. I’ve had a wonderful morning. The sun is shining, I’ve got washing on the … Continue reading

Monday 17th February 2014 – Chit! It’s potato time!
