The snowdrops have been amazing this year. Really strong and robust looking. This wee woodland corner of the garden is just beginning to look how I imagined it, years ago now. Still gaps to fill, and spaces that will evolve, but that’s what it's all about - that creative process.

I’ve got a lot of trays of seedlings on the go now, and the tree plugs have been sitting in a corner by the shed, for weeks, waiting to be planted. Work is slowly coming along. The weather hasn't been great, and on the fine days, I seemed to be busy with other commitments. I’ll get there, wherever that ends up being. Tomato seeds being sown this week.

Life has been bobbling along in it's usual rhythm. I was surprised to see it was a month since I had posted here. I can't really think of anything much that happened since then.

I just thought I should pop on, because I mentioned on instagram that I would be blogging more, so here I am.

I've not been enjoying instagram at all lately. Mindless scrolling of boring accounts I don't follow and don’t engage with. The fun and originality has gone.

So i’m taking an extended break from it.

Instead I’ll try and post here more consistently. The new squarespace app is much easier to work, so I don't need to haul the laptop out to blog, which is good.

It was a nice slow day today. Church in the morning, couple of meeting admin things this afternoon, while watching the football. Liverpool and Manchester City drew in a really exciting match. Liverpool really should have won, so I guess they dropped the points.

Dinner was roast beef, potatoes and cauliflower, with semolina pudding for dessert. It was alright. I’m not really scoring well myself, cooking wise lately - just not hitting the mark. I think we are ready for some lighter meals now that spring is on the way.

I’m thinking about getting hens again.
