Well its back to blighty tomorrow and not sure how I feel about that. Right now it is blasting rain at us which was not what I hoped for in Spain but that’s the way it goes. At least it has been warmer than back home and we have had some lovely sunny days.
No doubt lots of things will need to be done when we get back and there is still all the planning bureaucracy to face. That has dragged on and on and cost us money we were not expecting. But then spring is coming and hopefully we will be able to spend time in the garden getting it in shape. There is still a lot of work to do in terms of managing the shrubberies, planting the herbacious border and just generally getting on top of the weeding. We did have plans for doing quite a lot of this work in the winter but the harsh weather has defeated us.
The good news so far this year is that I have found some time to read, having hardly had the time to pick up a book for nearly 6 months. And certainly having a break out here has been really good - as well as catching up with the bunch of reprobrates who claim to be our friends. Their antics in providing many of the comments on this blog has kept us all amused during what has been a hard winter. I know it is all nonsense but then so are the politicians and all the rest.
Darling,
So glad to hear you are on the back to me. I missed the Jag whisking up the drive leaving the faint aroma of Havana’s finest in
its trail!
Reading your blog I can now feel the sap rising and spring is in the air….the thought of you pruning in the herbacious border,handling the last of brussel sprouts crop and managing your shrubberies just fills me with passion and lust! As my mind wanders to the long hot summer days I look forward to catching glimpses of you, bare chested, digging,hoeing,chopping and wheeling your barrow around the policies ……..must sign off now feeling a little light headed. See you soon.
