Never even knew it was on. We had a picnic out on Reigate Hill yesterday, then little man wouldn't settle he'd had such an exciting day, then his teething flared up. Didn't help that he'd lost his teether on the walk.

Hey ho

Bags, yours teething yet?

I went to the plot this morning. It's starting to look more like a plot now Laughing

Had half of it ploughed on Saturday so it has made it much more manageable, although I do feel a bit disappointed that I haven't done it myself.

Got loads of fruit bushes over the weekend and planted 2 of them out today. Was given some lettuce seedlings by our neighbour so they went in too.

Tonight it is just me and dd so I am going to try and catch up with some housework

BBQ'd redcurants.. that's innovative Laughing Laughing Laughing

Mr L cremated my aquelegias and the front of one of the 12' flowering currant bushes about 6 weeks ago - same thing Rolling Eyes I think the currant is putting out new leaves now, so yours should be ok hopefully.

Today I have been mostly in the office though I did cycle to work and back today which was lovely Cool This evening we ate outside then I've been tidying the flower beds and veggie patch. Tis still very warm out - cold beer rather than vino tonight Very Happy

Good Afternoon, trees now all munched up and gone, we kept a few branches to grow mushrooms on Confused , now we can continue growing stuff even though we have got a lot going so far, the other allotment 'down the road' have been kind in letting us have their surplus, we will repay them some how. We had at least four drops of rain. Elizabeth
