Just a suggestion of sun ..

It was dry and sunny for at least two hours today ..and after weeks and weeks of looking at the garden , quagmire ,with a heavy heart and then closing the door or running out to see to animals then running back in and shuddering , I went out today .. For at least half an hour ..followed by very nosy girls and I dug a little , turned over some soil with worms in .. Sighed .. Stayed , chatted to chickens then .. Spit , spit spit .. Argh no , ok , back in ..but it's a start , it's a beginning ..Seeds are arriving by post as are empty wine boxes to be used as planters but until this rain ceases , nothing will happen ..

For the love of mud ...

I'm pulling this blog up by the roots and starting afresh , so many plans last year all brought down by the devastating news that we had cancer in our home .. I went into survival mode .. The garden sadly came last and that coupled with some very urgent work needing to be done on the house meaning our chicken ladies had to be moved out onto the lawn for a while and well ... The picture speaks for itself ... Depressing eh ? .. But I have renewed energy and dog eared determination to go for it this year .. Seeds are gently being ordered , lessons have been learnt and off we go xx
