The weather this year has been sooooooooo weird, wetter than normal, and also colder at times. This winter does seem to go on for a long time this year, Im getting a little stir crazy , I want it to warm up enough to start planting and working outside more, its been very wet again the last few days, so ive not had chance to get out and work on the herb garden plot.. time again is running away from me. The orchard does look good though, and... one of the plum trees has little green buds appearing, ... I suppose that means its an early and the others are not... so to get plums from it, we'll have to buy another one... oh well .. whats one more eh... we do love plums...
The kitchen is still as it was the other time I commented .... BUT we are slowly accumilating materials to use when we do make a start.... the thing at the moment is to collect and dry some more wood... every year I think we'll have tons... and its never enough... last year it was because it was the coldest we'd ever had... this year its the wettest... hehehehe such is our life here...
