Clearing the Veg Garden

Veg Garden Prep

I've been lucky enough to inherit a ready made vegetable garden here. It has three raised beds, a long bed at the back and the remains of a cold frame.

I spent a happy and satisfying few hours trying to clear the beds and remake the cold frame. Body aching and I'm feeling my age. Feels good to be active and outside.

Leeks - how Welsh can you get?!

                             

Feels like coming home.

Coming Home

After more than five years in the Big City I am pleased to say that we have moved back to the Country. We managed to move in a week before Christmas and within days this house felt more like home than the London house had in years. I truly felt as though I had come home.

This feeling was cemented over the festive period with the visit of out three children, so we celebrated our first Christmas here with the core family and, of course, Tova-dog. 

All the kids approve of the new place and wish us heartfelt happiness here. It was lovely to wave them off as they left to go back to their own lives, then close our red front door, light the log-burning stove and settle into a life with just the two of us plus Tova-dog.
