After chores at home and a trip to check the ponies wintering on a hill field, order hay, buy hen feed (again!), and try without success to get a replacement sheet of greenhouse glass trimmed to actually fit the greenhouse (come back Monday when the person who can cut glass is back!), I popped into Pillars of Hercules for a latte and scone then headed home for a good session in the garden. Including a big bonfire to burn up all the pruning I've been doing, and getting a load of last year's orchard prunings cut to size for firewood so I have room for another heap of this year's branches! Oh and mucking out chooks etc, never seem to reach the end of that since I can't actually free range them on a smallholding with loads of trees cos there are (shock horror) wild birds all over the place! Including pheasants and partridge released by the gamekeeper a couple of fields over behind the wood..
Hoping for a good weather weekend to get along checking fences before the overwintered ponies have to come home later this month. Need to study for my upcoming sports and remedial massage exams and complete an essay to finish the coursework part, but if it's a nice day this time of year I have my priorities!
