Where to begin?

Well, here we are in April and I haven’t blogged since January – naughty, naughty!

There is no excuse for my lack of blog posts (a big sorry to all my readers) but I have been busy with major re-design work in our garden and a number of other projects along the way.

I am a keen gardener and like nothing more than sitting in my garden, with a glass of wine and a good book (weather permitting, of course!), but I can only do this if the garden is in good order.

For many years, I have grown all my plants from seed in a tiny walk-in, plastic greenhouse.  Over time, I have had to patch & repair the cover and this year I discovered it could be repaired no more.

After much searching of the shops, we found the perfect greenhouse for me, a polycarbonate, sturdy one.  DH was kind enough to take me to collect it and left the rest to me.

Just as I had planned to start work on the foundations for the greenhouse, the snow arrived.  I could be seen, daily, attempting to dig the frozen clay soil.

After 3 weeks of hard digging, much cussing and questioning my own sanity my beautiful greenhouse was completed!

It is now full of lovely seedlings . . . . . .
