Morning all. Bit on the cool side this morning but the forecast is for a good day so im sure it will get warmer as the day goes on.
Off to the market this morning and then a walk on the beach.
Have a good day all.

[Martin H]

Afternoon all! Just back from a week in the sun in Malta, so I'm trying to catch up with all your news.

Jay, so sorry to hear the news about Alfie.

And Lisa, I was gutted to hear about your polytunnel. I hope you managed to rescue the plants in there and are getting things back to normal again.

Scarlet, well done in helping that little old lady before things got serious.

Now I'd better get on and finish unpacking. But just to make you jealous here's a picture of pepper plants being used as ornamental bedding, by a bus stop in Mosta:

I've got the day off work today and have just said goodbye to the rest of the family who are off back to Ireland for a few days.

It's peeing it down outside.

Anyway, I need a haircut - so will head into town, get some seed potatoes (and anything else that takes my fancy) and try and squeeze in a couple of swallies.

[Scarlet]

Oh, so sorry Jay, I'm winging big hugs your way chin up x

[Scarlet]

Wet and horrible here too Kev.

Martin, did you nick any seeds? hope you had a good time

[Hazel at the Hill]

Gloomy ol' day here too

The good news (struggling!) however, is that is only going to drop 1 deg or so overnight from this temperature. Bad news is that it only 4 deg at the mo, and the heavy constant rain that has been falling since first thing is likely to continue through much of the night.

Why does this matter to sensible folks who are tucked up with a nice fire and hearty fare to look forward to for tea? It doesn't - it only matters those who are donning a pair of capris and a hi-viz tee at teatime and heading out for what the coach has cheerily termed 'a long hills session'.

Tell you what - I baked these abbey crunch last night - let's put the kettle on...

[bearded bloke]

Here yer go Hazel (no string needed)

[Hazel at the Hill]

Very good, BB! The wisdom there can be distilled as 'if you go out training even if it is vile, it will pay off' - which is very true.

I notice that it did not say 'if you go out training even if it is vile, you will feel like Mrs Smug of Smugsville in the pub tonight', however this is *equally* true!

[Lisasbolt]

Hazel, those look amazing, i must admit i am very rubbish in the kitchen when it comes to baking.
