Half term has finally arrived, and I took the opportunity of a dry day yesterday to begin clearing the front bed ready for my spring bulbs to be planted. I cut down the sunflowers – one was still flowering so I cut off the flowers to bring indoors (pic above) and have also hung up a couple of big heavy seed heads out the back, and also out the front and I was encouraged that today a couple of Great Tits seem to have found the ones in the back to start feeding from.
Bumped into Sam delivering team – teas at Kingweston on Wednesday. He’s on a term-time only contract so is also enjoying half-term, yesterday he went up to Bristol. In true start of holiday style, after a prolonged period of dry weather, today has been wet, with heavy mizzle pretty much all day, which has now turned to proper rain. Tomorrow and Tuesday don’t promise to be much better so my trugg clearance and bulb planting will be on hold until after we return from Lisbon.
