I am such a wally!!!!!!!

Why am I a wally?? Well because I just sat down to write an update post to only realise that I didn't actually publish the last post that I wrote....so you are going to get two for one here. It makes it a little lengthy but I hope you enjoy!!

I Finally got to the allotment!!

So at the weekend...Saturday to be precise, I finally got down the allotment. It has been so long since I managed to get down there that shamefully it looks like this....

a VERY weedy allotment

and believe me when I say it looks like that EVERYWHERE!!!!

Because I knew I had so much to do I got up well I would like to say bright and early but we have got to the time of year where it's now dark again at 5am!! So anyway I was up early to get a few things sorted at home, get some washing done and then by 7am I was across the fields with a very happy Trojan. We had a lovely walk and when I got home my first load of washing was about dry. BONUS!!

So as I was saying I got up the allotment quite early but I hadn't been there 5 minutes when I encountered this.....

heavy rain showers

 Needless to say I sheltered in the greenhouse for a while as it was pretty heavy for a time.

It did ease off eventually and I did get a little of the weeding done but not nearly as much as I would have liked.

So that was Saturday done and dusted with very little in the way of work done but I did get to spend some time curled up with my book so it wasn't all bad.

Well that's it for now...but I have plans to catch up with everyone this week and try and get you all caught up on what's been happening my end so watch this space!!!

Two hours well spent!!

So this was going to be todays post...I have decided under the circumstances to keep it brief and to the point!!

It was a beautiful day today....quite warm. very little wind, blues skies.
The weather for the weekend looks pretty grim so I took advantage of a couple of spare hours and got stuck into this...

more and more weeds

and yet a couple of hours later I was proudly looking at.....

freshly dug soil

Now don't get me wrong there is still LOTS more to be done but I made a nice dent it in today and though tired and a little achy I am very satisfied with todays achievement!!

Here's hooping the weather men have got the forecast for the weekend wrong whilst I'm on a roll!!
