Allotment to armchair: A week of garden planning
Monday, March 23
Rhubarb, sunshine and a busy week
Last week gave us a glimpse of what we hope is to come. For a couple of days, the sun shone and we even ventured out without coats.
Now, whether you prefer the meteorological or astronomical definition of spring is entirely up to you — but there could now be no argument — last Friday marked the beginning of astronomical spring. It is now, officially, spring.
By midweek, the sunshine had real warmth in it, enough to discard coats on our walks.

A windy walk among daffodils and Ruby's reward
Last week was all about the strong winds, especially on Thursday. Nostell had to close for the day for safety reasons, but thankfully, I spotted the notice on Facebook, saving us from a wasted trip.
Even when the sun came out, its warmth was cancelled out by the bitterly cold wind. Most of the people we met on our walks looked like they’d only ventured out because their dogs insisted.
