I've done some bits in the front garden, aiming for an hour a day out there until it is done. I now have a massive pile of leeks to prepare and freeze. Think I'll sit in the garden with a cuppa to do it.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0

Going to potter in the garden for a bit Clover xxDetermind to make a better life for ME and my children
Thanks to hangingbyathread for making me include myself in the above xx0 -
I started my HHC late, but carried on for ages. The living room is much improved and I might actually finish it when it comes round again next week.
Off to the kitchen now - stock needs turning into chicken noodle soup, fish needs using up (making base for fish pie) and I fancy making the carrot cake from MBE's thread. Got sidetracked there earlier. I hope I don't run out of steam before it's all done. Not cooked so much in ages. x0
