Only now is our garden awakening. We can count the number of full leaves on one hand, and they are all plum tree. The Forsythia which is usually fully flowered at the end of February here has only just started to bloom. I think we can confirm that this is a crazy late spring.

But spring it is, and the late start has me itching to throw myself into all things gardening - coupled with the fact that we had no allotment last year, and well, I'm ready to watch things grow. You too?

  2. The allotment is a couple miles, which is walkable if we're going without tools. Love having that space away from everyone and traffic ...

  5. Thankyou! It's been so long waiting for these blue skies that I just want to soak every second in. Is it feeling autumny over there yet?
