People came in wearing jackets and gloomy expressions (those that did venture out) because the weather was grim: cool, cloudy and hardly any sun the whole weekend. I decided yesterday to do some jobs I’ve put off for ages. This included cutting back some shrubs and tidying up in my tunnel. I’m having to do various different things to keep my spirits up, (there seems little point in doing lots of potting) so I cut some flowers to bring home and treated myself to a chocolate croissant to have with my morning coffee.

Today was considerably better than yesterday sales wise so I feel a bit better than I did at the end of Saturday. The only other slightly comforting but puzzling news is that the driver who delivered compost on Friday said that its quiet in all the nurseries and garden centres for the whole of the Midlands and Wales. So we’re not alone!

Got wet while I was leaving and there’s some heavy showers around but a lot of the pots have been blown over by the wind so will miss out on the water hmmmmmmm.
