At least it covers the weeds so you can't see them  :D

Watched a fox stealthily cross the plot, making indents in the snow, like a peacful blank canvas :)
If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

My rhubarb arrived by post today, but will have to wait for the big thaw, or purchase a kango!
Still haven't caught that Rat

I went with the intentions of having a quick look, but ended up getting my log burner stoked up, stripped a few pallets, picked leeks, sprouts and kale, and drunk more then 5 cups of tea.. :)
I used to work in a helium gas factory, but I walked out, no one talks to me like that.
