After last weeks storm, the last few days have been glorious, 19-20º and sunny and beautiful... All is well with my world, my broad beans are looking healthy and have flowers on, my garlic is 6 inches high, the grelos is coming on and even the carrots are showing seedlings up and growing...
Rik is busy rototilling everywhere possible, the back terrace is done, ready for me to organise the new herb garden... the rest of the area will be corn, tomatoes and strawberries..
Im so eager to get out there, but know that if I go too fast the late frosts we generally have in April will catch me out yet again...
We have guests in the cottage and a few nice enquiries coming in reguarly now... I feel hopeful for our summer season as we generally can rely on Spanish holidaymakers to fill the very hot months of July and August, and I look forward to them coming, such nice polite people.
Sorry this is so brief... I have meals to cook and wood to stack...
