    Hi, Tilly, things seem to be ticking along nicely.


    I'm also looking forward to the clocks changing. Before I went on holiday it was mostly grey and dull..... and it seems exactly the same since I've been back, too.


    Can't wait to kick start spring!

    Hi GoldieGirl, let's hope we have a long hot summer, although I'd settle for just mild or warm anything but grey and wet :rotfl:

    Greent, have you got your seeds ready? Salad leaves in a few weeks from the garden :T

    :D:D I've brought my tin of seeds indoors, Tilly and have sorted through them. I shall sow some mixed salad leaves and some plain rocket over the weekend, along with cress (egg and cress sandwiches - yum!) and maybe some carrots - even if the carrots don't come to much the guinea pigs will eat them (and the tops)


    Typical Bank Hol weather expected, though....
