Yes 19°C, it was as warm in the garden as it was in the kitchen and there was not a cloud in the sky...
Yesterday we got most of the Potager turned over with the rotavator and today most of the grass was 'trimmed'. This spell of dry and warm weather is set to continue for a good while yet.
On our walks recently and also in the garden, we've seen plenty of over-wintering butterflies now out and about in the early warmth. Perhaps we'll manage to do the first of the butterfly surveys next week, which will be a full month earlier than we've done it in previous years ...
Visiting the supermarket today involved a search down an aisle we don't usually have cause to frequent.. the Baby aisle!
The reason for this? During this week Elizabeth had a close encounter of the "edge of cupboard" kind, resulting in the following slight discolouration to the temple...
I have also fallen foul of the same angle and believe me, it hurts. In fact, it HURTS!
So today's trip down the aisle was to purchase...
to fit onto the offending corner...
Job Done! And we look forward to less painful encounters in the future...
All in all it's been a week of bits and bobs, which is what makes life out here interesting!
