Sitting at home drowning out the sound of heavy rain with loud music and a drink at my side seems to be the only way to cope with this awful weather. After three whole days with no rain I was getting carried away thinking that at last we might get some ‘proper’ spring weather. I sploshed around the garden getting some cuttings this afternoon, no real chance of catching up with any general gardening work.

One lovely family  came in today and bought a large quantity of plants but  not many people are prepared to choose and buy plants in the rain and I don’t blame them.
