The gales finally abated, but they left behind plenty of evidence of their power.
Work continued on preparing the border at the side of our house.
I completed a long-overdue job on the allotment, and Martyn got digging.
Ruby managed to collect two more stamps for her Pooch Passport, and we said a bittersweet goodbye to a little friend who had become a familiar face in our garden.
Last week we had some rather dramatic weather, with two named storms hitting the UK — Austen and Boelo. Austen didn't seem to affect us too much, but Boelo brought some very strong winds. Once again, this meant that Nostell was closed over the weekend.
Hopefully, the rain we had will improve the soil conditions at the allotment and make it a little more manageable. That is, unless all the strong winds we've been having dry it out as quickly as the rain has moistened it!
The week also involved another hospital visit, although this one was far less dramatic than those in the previous week — thank goodness.
We didn't do any gardening, but we did manage to dodge the rain and take Ruby on several autumn walks.
Last week started off damp, but to be honest, the weather didn’t play a significant role in our activities.
The reasons for that will become apparent later in this blog. It is going to be rather unusual in its content. Unusual, but not in a good way!
Before the more dramatic events of the week, we did manage to do a little development work on the allotment and take Ruby for a walk. After that, however, unplanned events rather took over.
