Still raining...

Still raining, still dull and grey outside. Had quite bad winds in the night and one of our plants blew over - no damage tho. The lettuces are loving it, they've grown about an inch, which is great considering the weather. It's still very windy and it's not supposed to get any better :-(
Our bench/ loveseat arrived today (we paid for this one only £30) Took a photo of the box 'cos it made us laugh lol!
no hope of putting it up today tho, which is a shame 'cos I love flat packs! So we're ebaying today, clearing out the junk - if you'd like to see what we're selling (or just to be nosy lol) our id is andrewsmt26.

Rain, rain, bloody rain

For the second day in a row the rain is falling grrrr!! I know my plants love it but so do the weeds, and this lack of sun is doing nothing for me. I've had to be content with watching gardening programs and picking up tips on the web for our new projects, construct a compost bin and a water barrel. As we rescued some lovely sand coloured slabs from a back lane (its amazing what you can find when your walking the dog), my husband dug out some soil, to level the ground to put down our bench, and its now a patch of wet gunk. Good job the bench hasn't arrived yet! We'll have to be content with making some garden sculptures indoors until the drizzle stops.
