There was no post last week as me and my family went on holiday to Wales. With everything that is going on in the world we were sure it wasn’t going to happen but we were lucky and the holiday went ahead. It was so good to get away and recharge the batteries.

March of the Pumpkins
Finally got the weeds back under control after they had gone mad with all the rain. Took me an age to do but I found it quite therapeutic. The pumpkins are still going strong.
