Day off.


Had a day on derwentwater on the boat. Did some fishing, stopped on one of the islands and had lunch, made a fire, took some piccys.
All the carrot holes are now bored and filled plus I planted some stumps for an early local show.
The greenhouse is chocca !

Pass the Ibuprofen Mrs B !


Been putting this off for weeks cos I knew it was going to be a nightmare !
I got the sand delivered for the long carrot barrels on Friday. The entrance to our site is quite narrow and the driver wasnt optimistic about getting down there. The bloke turned out to be a professional swearing enthusiast and after much cursing (in a Glasgow accent) he dropped the bags off at the entrance to the site.
This meant a 300 metre round trip for each barrow load (see piccy). I barrowed for 7 hours on Friday and finally got it finished on Saturday morning.
Still need a little bit more sand but it just amounts to a few small bags.
Next job..........
