Sunny April!
Another break in, a bit of damage but not a lot missing, except for next doors non-ferrous scrap wiring, which they burnt off the insulation on the plots! No one saw it of course!

An archway!
Made from recycled timber (and in some cases recycled nails) an arched entry to my plot!
This year it may have tiny tomatoes on it!

Julien upsets Felicity!
He told her as she was stood about with a broom, she might as well sweep the path!
She said some magic words and off she went!

abc1 him/her
Strange title I know, but I think I may have been refered to as such on another blog!
On an excellent frugality forum I visit on a regular basis, a man/woman, who is well known for frugal living on a pension. Have bus pass will travel, make do and mend, search for bargains etc, all of which I do myself to a certain extent (I'm also a pensioner), but it transpired he/she had a car that had been involved in an accident, so the frugal means of replacing said car was duly explained.
I found it hard to accept, scrimping, especially on food, simply to buy a motor car! The reasons were not convincing either, one being, "I've always had one" Up until four years ago I'd always had a car, now I manage without, as I do a TV!
I could afford a fairly good car if I wished, but my pension would not cover car running costs on my normal budget, so I manage without!
I doubt if him/her will read this, but you never know!

Retirement do!
Bit of a get together on a cool afternoon on the plot to celebrate my retirement!
Jack Daniels helped to keep out the cold, a suitable spell kept the rain away!

Roll on Spring!
The polytunnel is pretty much prepared for the new season. The long wooden planters are for basil!

Let it rain!
At last I've managed to rid myself of a leaky water butt and get three water tight ones linked! It's suprising just how much water I can catch from such a small (5ft x 5ft) roof.
The leaky butt has been sawn down for a carrot growing tub!
