word of the week #20


This week has flown by, I have been working away for a few days but even so I'm sure that last time I checked Sunday was only yesterday. Anyway this week has been focussed on our developing garden. Last weekend we bought a whole range of goodies to plant in our newly built vegetable beds. There are beans and peas, tomatoes and strawberries, onions and cabbages, and aubergines and sweet potato. 

I am loving my daily visits to see their progress and The Husband sent me photographic updates while I was away, partly to prove he was doing his watering duty. There was a trip to ikea to buy multiple herb pots and soon they will be planted and it will be finished. I am very excited and hoping for some dry weather over the weekend.

The Husband had a day off work today and spent some of it pruning and weeding and neatening up the flower beds. It was lovely to get home from a few days away and see all of the progress.  It seems hopeful that soon our garden will be all spruced up, and then all we need is a lovely summer to enjoy it!

    1. i'm feeling quite cheerful about it, it's the first year that it has felt possible that we might have it looking decent before summer starts, and that is very exciting! xxx
