Give me sunshine

Last week, we did have some sunshine but, most days, it tended to be in the morning and by the afternoon it had clouded over and sometimes given way to drizzle or rain. It was also quite cold.

We still managed our weekly long walks with Ruby and, at the weekend, we had a couple of afternoons at the allotment. We continued tidying which didn't provide many photo opportunities. All the grass paths were strimmed and are looking much neater.

We have a couple of gooseberry plants which are trained onto a support. I spent one afternoon trimming them. I know that I haven't pruned them correctly but this doesn't seem to affect fruiting and that is what really matters.

February in Pictures

Nature into spring mode

We had glimpses of better weather last week but also had days that were predominantly gloomy and drizzly.

The number of bright, dry days needs to increase if our soil is going to be fit for working. Maybe I'll look back on this time in summer when we are lugging watering cans or maybe we will still be waiting for things to dry out. Who knows what our weather will bring? Weather forecasts seem to change by the hour so it is difficult to make any definite plans.
