Morning all, Beast from East 2 hasn't arrived which is good. Looks to be perishing cold out though. We are getting a few hailstorm falling and not melting. Brrrrh.

Anyways, all stay cosy and safe

Good evening, went to a factory shop today as OH was looking for something to wear, all she needs to do is look in her wardrobe, or if nothing there look in mine, where half the cloths in it belong to her I had better stop or folks will be thinking this is APs post
Was out in the back garden this afternoon temperature of 2c, but if you kept working it was fine, and it was dry and sunny, greenhouse was 20c so just popped in now and again, now got the walkway down and ground levelled off will let it settle for two or three weeks and wait till its a bit warmer before re seeding the grass, now have to go and make the tea, and Bren wrong question, it should be favourite cake you can share
