Watching my grandaughter Molly growing up. This was taken on her first birthday (Dec 13th). She is running round and into everything, growing like a runner bean.

I think she is going to be a keen gardener, she has already mastered (Harvesting) she loves pulling up grandads little plants, bless.

HOWEVER on the college Intranet there is a job advertised. It is a traineeship based at Oxford University Botanic Gardens, the job is for a year. Wages are low but imagine what I could learn in this job. Plus there is no age restriction (Edinburgh Botanic Gardens take on apprenticeships but you must be aged under 19). Ahem I'm a wee bit older than 19. All I can think about is I want this job, I will give it my all. I know living costs are high in Oxford but I also have Mr Frosty's pension. Rent a wee room for a year?

Go girl! At least send your application in, worry about the move if you get it
.....that's my go to place for a Saturday without the boys. Always on the lookout for company with my coffee!

First little venture off piste into the powder yesterday without mishap

(I wish we still lived in Oxford so we could rent a room to an horticultural apprentice in need - great city/countryside/botanic gardens)

Te#co have started getting their garden stuff here. Managed to pick up a small water butt for £6.75
Going to try and use it as a wormery
Also has some terracotta pots in for about 75p. Didn't get any as I couldn't sneak them into the trolly because the water butt was taking up to much room. Darn it.

Flock of spadgers that turned up at the end of last year and have stayed. They cheep like mad, a sound that takes me straight back to hot summers as a child.

College today was fantastic (Thursday is my favourite day). It took 8 of us to repot a twenty year old Acer! Had loads of tea oh and had visits from a gorgeous black lab and a lurcher. May not sound good but it was
