First gardening of the year!

 The sun had me up and out for a little planting and sweeping. Some of my rose cuttings have leaves on!!! very exciting. A new evergreen Clematis and a couple of grasses have joined the raised bed. Good times.


Keith carefully inspecting the after photo. The rose cuttings are growing in the plastic case things that had plants packed in them for delivery last year, Handy little mini greenhouses.

Aberystwyth

 We've just had a few nights in Aberystwyth and it was splendid! Much knitting, reading and dog walking Oh I do love a harbour! The slightly fishy diesel smell is one I love. Ok I know that's weird but this is me and my love of odd smells. The smell of wet dog is less pleasant! Luckily the fab cottage we stayed at has an outdoor dog shower, Luxury! We found  several new beaches to explore. This one has a lime kiln! And this is a photo from inside the lime kiln where I was sheltering from the rain and hail, Gotta love the Welsh weather. We also had a dusting of snow and sat outside and drank coffee, a proper mixed bag. I can't wait for our next trip.

Holiday fun

 A lovely time was had in cold but sunny Wales. Much sea swimming-dogs and coffee drinking- me and him. Lots of driftwood was collected to make things with, not sure what yet! Much knitting and reading, Pretty perfect really. Aberystwyth front, splendid as always. Back to healthy eating and more walking now. No more treats in cafes for the dogs either!

Decembrrrrrrrr!

 Blimey it's cold. Didn't stop the dogs having a canal swim this afternoon though.  That's them in the distance!  Me and husband chops decided against a swim in the murky Grand Union.    Had a lovely outing to Delapre Abbey yesterday with my youngest daughter, Good food, Unique gifts and lots of giggles. A real treasure of a place that we're lucky to have on our doorstep. Have given up trying to book a holiday, too many lies from cottage owners. Which is very sad really.  Real Baklava from a little Turkish bakery, Truly delicious. God I'm greedy and boring!
