Getting well fed up by now waking to fog every day so far this week, it's not too cold really but cooler than it has been of late. Where's all the sunshine gone? We've been spoiled of late with bright, sunny, Spring days and now it feels as though we've been plunged back into Winter :-( Mind at least we've not got snow, they were forecasting it for Scotland over the weekend. Thought we were supposed to have a week of drizzle so with that in mind the fog is a better option as far as I'm concerned, I don't get wet in the fog!
Still the daffs are slowly beginning to come out, we have loads planted on a road island opposite the old Mid-Kent College site, the crocuses have been there a while already but the daffs flowering is a sure sign that Spring is on its way! Bought some tulips the other weekend at Asda when we went to get some flowers to take up the crematorium for my Nan's birthday. They were really nice indoors, flowered for the best part of a week and cheered the place up a bit. I'm not known for my green fingers when it comes to plants so we don't have any live ones indoors, strictly dried or silk only.
The downside to Spring and hence Summer coming of course is the garden... It means I shall be forced to go outside and initially tidy up after the Winter and then keep it tidy over the coming months, not my most favourite of chores let me tell you. Still it does leave one with a sense of achievement when you come indoors after a session and see the lawns looking tidy and less weeds lurking among the plants in the side beds. In my line of work I don't produce anything tangible so to be able to so obviously see the fruits of my labours is a pleasure even if I do balk at going outside in the first place ;-)
