Autumn is here but I am preparing for Spring 😊
Monday 18th September 2023: This month seems to be rattling past 🙄 the weather is up and down but there is definitely an autumnal nip in the air in the mornings and evenings. Last night there was a big storm, I have to say apparently because I didn’t hear it 😂 John said it lit…

Clear outs, dried flowers and a walk in the country.
Monday 11th September 2023: A bit cooler today and def not as muggy thank goodness because I have spent 7 hours (yes you read that correctly) cleaning the kitchen 🙄 From top to bottom, every cupboard, every drawer pulled out cleaned, stuff I didn’t need thrown out and everything put back. I don’t know about…

Gathering the (tiny) harvest in, botanical dyeing & still plenty of rain.
Monday 31st July 2023: The whole of July we have had rain every day, sometimes heavy, we have had hardly any sun but at least the temperature has been ok on the whole. It is topsy turvy at the moment, I am not complaining too much though as I have not had to water the…

Monday 17th July 2023: Monday again already 🙄 I have been out already this morning and cut flowers for tomorrows orders, hoovered the house and now having tea and toast before I go out and check on my seeds and do any other jobs I spot that need doing, it won’t be hard to spot…

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…

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…

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,…

Wood chip, garden bounty & a change of plans.
Monday 11th October 2021: Must try harder to write every day and not forget like I did last week 🤪 Already this morning the plans I had have changed and it’s only 9.30 am. I had a phone call from a tree company who are working in the area had want to bring wood chip😁…

Lots of tidying up, some flower arranging & a bit of foraging.
Monday 4th October 2021: A nice day for the best part, a little rain in the afternoon but only quick showers really. I had decided how my day was going to go and got on with things only to get a phone call from John at around 9am. The job he was starting this week…
