Monday started cloudy in more ways than one. Looking upwards it was grey and uninspiring, indoors pretty much the same. Mrs S announced that she had “bits” to do in town, which of course is code for you are walking into town with me, trailing in my wake as we enter many shops and always in charge of coffee……fine, of course, as we have plenty of time. I couldn’t help but wish I wasn’t involved, after all I had plans for the garden.
So it was a bit of a relief to get home just as the clouds parted and a dribble of spring sunshine brightened the gloom. They say sun & fresh air are good for the soul and it is absolutely true. As soon as lunch and the ubiquitous cuppa were done it was outside and crack on. I will write something soon about how the garden is evolving and plans for the fruit & veg plot, but for now it was heartening to get the mowers started, clear away the cobwebs of this waterlogged spring and get moving.
