Winter just couldn't wait

Winter just couldn't wait its turn and arrived early last week. The temperature plummeted. We couldn't get to the plot at all. Maybe that isn't strictly true. It would be more accurate to say we didn't want to go. We had done quite a lot the previous week so there was nothing that couldn't wait. We could have done to have harvested some leeks but a quick change of menu sorted that out.

Renovating our fruit area

Last week the sun shone. The sun was low and dazzling rather than providing warmth but at least it made things feel more cheerful. The temperature is dropping as winter draws ever closer.

We wrapped up warmly and I donned sunglasses to head for the allotment. My eyes don't tolerate brightness at the best of times so the conditions were particularly challenging.

We completed a lot of work on the plot.

First Parsnips

Last week we didn't have any weather. I don't suppose that is scientifically possible but that would be my description. There was no rain, no wind, no sun, no frost nor any other weather condition you could name. Instead, we woke every morning to gloom and dullness. It hardly managed to become light throughout the day.

Central Bark at Clumber Park


Last week, was a busy week. Humans had a visit from the hairdresser and Ruby had a visit from the groomer. We showered her the day before she was clipped. The groomer would do that but Ruby is used to us showering her as she needs a good wash between grooming visits. We end up almost as wet as Ruby as she has plenty of vigorous shakes during the process. Once out of the shower and toweled down there follows a cracker dog session before we can start up the hairdryer.  It's always sad to see the teddy bear look disappear. On the plus side, the daily brush is easier, and the highlight for Ruby is that both the hairdresser and groomer come with treats. What was even better, last week was that Ruby's favourite delivery man also came with a treat.
