New Growth


The glasshouse is starting to produce some fine seedlings.


Isn't the growth of plants from mere seeds just incredible?


Well I think it is anyway.


So excited to see these sprout from the earth


Some good success so far...

I mowed the top lawns this afternoon.  The batteries ran out though (of course!) before I could finish the lawn, which is really frustrating, but it is what it is.


I went for an early morning walk, 4 miles today.


I found a little peaceful grove or grotto.  It was so pretty.


Looking up at the cliff


I couldn't believe how dry the ground has become after being soggy only last week.


Almost home...

I got home just in time to see my garden waste bin delivered.  Now whilst I now have four compost bins, not all of the garden waste can go in there, and I don't want to just dump it all in a corner of the garden, so ordered a garden waste bin.  Just weeding the front this morning, picking up the stinging nettles I weeded the other day, and cutting up a couple of buddleia branches, has almost filled it!

This blog post is a little out of order, but hey, who cares?


I woke to the smell of freshly baked bread.  My breadmaker is certainly coming into good use now I feel like I am burning off the energy that enables me to eat a couple of slices of bread a day. 


I made a couple of face masks for my lovely daughter in law who works in Sainsbury's and managed to get them posted as well. I wore my mask to the post office, not sure what they thought, but hey who cares, safety first.  Not having a spleen I have to be extra careful.  I did discover that the elastic wasn't tight enough, so will have to attend to that.

I hope everyone has a good weekend.

  1. Gosh. Your plants are doing well. My breadmaker is working hard too. But then it usually does even though I only eat a couple of pieces at most a day.

  5. Seeds germinating is a miracle of nature and I never cease to be awed by it. Glad you are still able to get out and do solitary walks. I've never tried putting our breadmaker on auto so that we can wake up to that delicious smell - must try it some day :) Mxx
