Things have been going full steam ahead here – lots of doing but not much blogging. We’ve been getting stuck into the garden now that the warm weather has arrived. Despite my neglect we have flowers peeping out of the ground, our raspberry patch has taken off, I’ve been planting some new things here and there, and we’ve installed a raised garden bed which is keeping my strawberries happy. The chooks are good. Elena has another ear infection and Hugo’s having a rough day (but is happily fast asleep). Enough said there.

Elena and I are off outside now. In her words ‘you can do the work and I can eat an ice block in the sun’. Sounds like a deal.
