RIP HRH Queen Elizabeth II 😔
Tuesday 6th September 2022: I didn’t blog yesterday as I was still at Sam and Luke’s looking after the children until around 6pm, I called in to see Charlie, Macca and Oscar on the way home. We eventually got back in time to get some dinner on, John did the birds and the egg collecting…

Blackberry picking, IBC tanks and The Wedding Day 🥰
Monday 29th August 2022: Bank Holiday Monday 😁 It has been a chilled and relaxed BH nothing too taxing today. After getting the morning jobs sorted I did the final touches to the wedding flowers, boxing them all up depending on where they are going to over the next couple of days. Bridal and bridesmaid…

Tomatoes, flowers & a new Grandson 🥰
Monday 22nd August 2022: A fairly nondescript kind of day as far as the weather went, not too hot, not too cold, not too sunny, not too rainy. We did have a tiny smattering of rain but nothing worth writing home about, could have done with a bit more to be honest. Once the morning…

Rain! It rained 😁 thank you for the rain, I am so happy it finally rained 🥰
Monday 15th August 2022: I have taken to watching the rain radar, a live website so I can either see some relief or disappointment approaching 🤪 This morning, though I intended to get up early, I didn’t, so I was then playing catch up. I didn’t water, I am hoping that is done for me…

It’s hot and dry, that is all I have to say 🥵
Tuesday 9th August 2022: No idea what I did on Monday apart from cut a whole load of flowers for an order that was cancelled 😏 and went to my brothers in the evening for his birthday. The rest is a blur 😝 Tuesday: After making up a couple of jam jars, sorting flowers for…

Time to release Hilda, everywhere is parched & still no significant rain.
Monday 1st August 2022: Last night Hilda had her first slug supper 🥰 I was glad she dived straight on it and devoured it because it means she knows what she should be eating and will be able to feed herself when she is released. She is also self anointing now which is another sign…

Harvesting veg, my birthday & a little bit of rain 😁
Wednesday 27th July: Oooo it’s Wednesday before I even get anything written down 🙄 now I have to try and remember what I have been doing this week 🤔 On Monday I did a mornings work cleaning the house, boring but necessary for my own sense of peace and wellbeing. Just before lunchtime Sam came…

Scorching temps 🥵 no rain & still no rain 😏
Monday 18th July 2022: Today could possibly be a record breaking day here in the UK as the temperature is set to climb up near 40c and possibly 41c 🙄🥵 That is insane for this country and possibly a warning of what is yet to come 😏 I was up early as you can imagine,…

Hot and set to get hotter, watering and water problems & Hilda is doing well 🦔
Monday 11th July: Oooo it’s set to be a scorcher this week 🥵 Obviously I was up early and outside when it was just light and still cool, but by 8am stood in the sun it was already hot! In these circumstances my day goes something like this: Up with the sunrise and straight out…

A hoglet, a jab & a baby shower.
Monday 4th July 2022: Happy 4th of July to any Americans reading 🥳 Meanwhile back in Blighty I have been as busy as a bee. I have plenty of jobs on the list and was hoping to sear through a good few of them today but I got to lunchtime and my feet hurt, my…
