No gardening last week.
We decided on a couple of days out so we and Ruby could have some exercise to compensate for a lazy time on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Christmas week

Merry Christmas
In an earlier post, I displayed some of the outdoor scenes featuring Ruby in a Christmassy outdoor settings. If you missed them, they are posted here.
I also created some indoor settings by playing around for hours. Below are just some of the results.
Can you spot the tweaks that were made in some images?

Six stamps Ruby
Last week we managed to get out and about a bit more,
We went to the allotment on three afternoons. The first time was to move another pile of manure. If we leave it, it tends to spill onto the roadway that runs around the site, and also means that when another load arrives, there is nowhere to offload it. Another did arrive on Sunday, so that also needed moving. At the moment, we are having loads delivered whenever they are available, and no one else wants any.

So what do we do when it's raining?
We have had another wet week. We now have the exact opposite of the weather that we experienced last summer. This is typical of our weather, when we need rain, it stays dry and when we could do with a bit of a break in the rain it just won't stop.
It's far too wet now to do any gardening, so we have had to look towards alternative occupations.
Whenever there has been a break in the rain, we have taken the opportunity to go walking with Ruby, although our walks have been local.

It never rains ,,,
Was it really just a month or two ago that we were bemoaning the fact that we needed rain? It's certainly made up for it this month. This November with 106.2mm or 4.18" of rainfall has become the ninth wettest month since Martyn started recording our weather in 2010. It has also been our second wettest autumn, with only 2019 being wetter
Meteorological winter starts on the first of December. As I've commented before, it's all or nothing as far as our weather is concerned.
We only went to the allotment once last week, as we have used any dry spells for walks with Ruby.
The allotment can look after itself at the moment and no doubt all the rain will be making a good job of rehydrating the parched earth and softening the hard lumps left after digging over the beds.
