A special edition Gardener's World magazine dropped onto the door mat yesterday - the first of a 6 month subscription. What a lovely present!! I had a great time reading the magazine cover through the plastic wrapper.  :)

Now I had better stick my coat on and deliver it to the right address a few roads away.  :(
Blooming postman.  ;D

We had to fork out quite a bit to replace the stuff we left at the old plot but we have treated ourselves to a 2 week holiday in Tunisia in March.
I know its the wrong time of year to be away but what the hell. ;D
