Hi
Its been raining again lol, its now getting quite funny really, we're still in drought conditions but local rivers have burst their banks the next local town [NP] has been put on flood alert and has suffered some flooding near the river but there is still a hosepipe ban!
I've had to buy some Tomato plants, I don't like doing it but this year I've been unable to get any to set from seed and I do like growing Tomatoes so I gave in and bought some
Cushion - I've managed to do a cushion - patchwork design in mainly Red and Green, its not perfect but then neither am I but I like it. I've caught the bug now and I've just started cutting up more material to make another cushion, this time in Pinks, Greens and Purples. I need to start scouring the charity shops for clothing in colours that I like so I can cut them up - gives me more material for my money, the problem is that the Charity Shops around here are expensive and to go to cheaper ones I have to travel and use petrol!
Tomorrow the children are at their Dads so K and I are going for a walk somewhere - weather permitting hehe. Blows Downs is where I think we're going - Bluebell hunting
I've just bought this months Gardeners World magazine because it has a 2 for 1 booklet in it that allows 1 free adult entry for 1 paying adult. I intend to use it when we go to Cornwall so that we can visit the Eden Project. K and I have always wanted to go and this will save us £23 on admission - well worth the £3.80 I paid for the mag and it allows this 2 for 1 entry at LOTS of other Gardens throughout the country so we plan to get more use out of it :]
Have a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend and for those of you that have to work I really feel for you - K will be working on Monday and will get no extra pay for it or time off :{

I've just discovered your blog and have enjoyed reading back through your previous posts. I had my tomato plants in the greenhouse, but the conditions were far too cold for them so they're indoors on the windowsill at the moment. They've really perked up since I brought them in. Everything is growing much slower this year due to the cold weather, and I haven't got much planted in the allotment yet. Well done on the cushion cover, half the charm of home made is that it's never perfect. I'm not a sewer, though my thirteen year old daughter enjoys it and has a sewing machine. I'm more of a knitter, and I also taught myself to crochet last year. Anyway, I shall pop back to visit again now that I've found you.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo and thanks for stopping and having a read :]
ReplyDeleteTomato plants that we bought have blight!!! So some of them have been binned and fingers crossed on the rest
