W/e Sunday 21^st January

Once again, not much to diary.

The snow lasted until Saturday, then a thaw set in followed by rain. Sunday saw Storm Isha hit; I think we missed the worst of it. The plastic sheeting covering the b=veg beds relocated, but there’s no point putting them back on yet.

Dan and Murdo had more fires on Thursday, so now the old pig pen is clear and ready for planting, but that won’t be done until the autumn. Sunken garden and front garden are the focus for now.

Bonfire.

Dogs found a dead and frozen rabbit on Thursday. The photo is of me pulling them off – not condoning scavenging. Bryn was having a good go, though.

Snax.

There was also some interesting ice.

Tara came to visit on Sunday with Murphy. He’s an adorable but nutty Golden Doodle.
