It was damp and chilly this morning so Tina suggested we try Mappleton again hopefully missing the good weather half termers! I made up a flask of hot chocolate and off we went. Plenty of space in the car park. No point walking down the slope as the tide was right in so we we’d it from the top.
We had a bit of a walk across to the church before we had out drinks. There were sheep in the field next to the church and they did a runner across the field after one look at me! One black faced one did stare at me for a bit before joining the others!
I did a bit of pedalling while watching a dvd when we got back then after lunch we went into the garden for a while. Tina wanted to burn the pile of sticks I had been collecting and I wanted to get the few plants in that we had had for a while. The bed before I worked on it and Tina trying to light the incinerator.
Tina did get the fire going and got all the twigs burnt and also did a lot of leaf clearing and moved the old bags of leaves so it was tidier. I managed to get the bed hoed again and the plants put it. Can’t hoe all of the beds as I have planted so many bulbs and some are just poking through, did have a couple of casualties.
Tina noticed that the wall along the side is bowing badly and may soon be an ex wall!
There are some big cracks, well, more like cavities as well!
Back indoors I had a lap friend for a while again, she was very comfy.
Tina had noticed that the daffodils she got me on Monday had died off very quickly so today she brought me in some lovely yellow roses. Sorted out the large vase ai painted butterflies on and they look beautiful.
Last Death in Paradise of this series tonight.
Ice cream for breakfast would be great in the summer. Might have to try that!
ReplyDeleteDoesn’t look very busy at Mappleton at all. Not really the weather for the hoards to turn out in I suppose. It’s only you hardened locals with a flask the turn out on days like that! The black faced sheep is really given you the daggers stare!
Your efforts in the garden definitely made a difference. I’m sure Tina was an arsonist in a former life. She loves that incinerator 😊
That wall does look a bit bulgy. But it’ll probably last another hundred years!
Looks like Pandora is happy that you were finished for the day.
You are spoiled for flowers lately 🌹
It was quite comical the way the sheep ran off!
ReplyDeleteYes, very quiet at Mapleton this morning, the wind was pretty chilly!
Good to get a bit done in the garden, I think more rain is forecast for tomorrow.
Pandora is becoming a lap cat!
