It’s been a variable week, weatherwise. We had a couple of nice days at the start but it’s been bitterly cold, with a breath-taking easterly wind, at the end. Damp, dreich. Only the snowdrops and daffodils show that it’s spring.
However, I started sowing some seeds on heat – tomatoes, sweet peppers, - and some in the greenhouse - some herbs, sweet peas, calendula and candytuft.
First 2024 seeds.
Dan went off to Mike and Kate’s with the log splitter on Thursday. Boys and toys.
Boys and toys.
Kittens and boxes.
M was here Friday, so Dan carried on with the apple tree pruning – almost finished – while M cut back the willow. It’s basket willow – it’s a shame it doesn’t have a home. We’re going to plant some along the drainage ditch.
Willow.
Lovely colours of willow.
And some kitten spam.
Dozing by the fire.
