    Do you actually get to eat it MWC ... it's not like wine tasting and you have to roll it around the old taste buds and then spit it out?

    Not only did I get to stuff my face for 1.5 hours Hbbb but I got to bring some home as well :T

    Another plant-free day!

    I had to get the hosepipe out this evening and water the garden :eek:

    The garden is starting to look lovely - if I do say so myself :p - the advantage of keeping the chickens out. The disadvantage is that I will need to mow the lawn this weekend!

    I had to mow yesterday. It's only a small patch of grass, but with the washing line and climbing frame, has a plethora of obstacles. The main reason for doing it was the pesky raspberry canes growing in the lawn!! I know they spred by underground runners, the sneaky things, but they can't half run a long way!

    I can't join the chocolate-munching gang. I am mainly not eating chocolate apart from specific days. However, Sunday will be an allocated day - yippee in advance!
