Light nights, soil and laundry!

Spring is definitely some where in the neighbourhood. Since the car is completely frosted up this morning it ain't quite here but I almost managed to get the washing dried outside on Sunday. In fact if I had managed to get the load done and hung out before church it would have been dry. I get as excited about that as I do the first snow drops and crocus. I love the tumble dryer and it makes a big difference to the eczema allergy conditions that are currently living in our house but I do not like what it does to the electric meter which appears to have a bout of hyperactivity whenever the clothes are drying. Not good on the eco or the wallet front!

We have been digging for all we are worth down on our allotment. We will soon have a decent area to plant up with some veggies. As allotment novices we need to work out what to plant. The packets all say sow in February ...now is that a Scottish February or a balmy south of England February. (Yep this year it was not so balmy down there either!!)

Whatever we are enjoying the days getting longer!
