The weekend as always.....

It was a real cold winter weekend and the heater is finally running in the family room. Another major cleaning took place on Saturday from bathrooms to the main section of the house getting a thorough wipe down.Totally exhausted thereafter - maybe a bit too enthusiastic there. The box in the garden was transplanted and the new Tom Thumbs are now in as a hedge. The bird bath though needs a new paint job - that has to be next week.

Mum and Dad's garden was in tip top condition having finally dropped its last leaves. My Golden Elm is still working itself out so the garden does not look like this at all. I wish it did coz the leaves are driving me insane.

Sunday morning was Market day - got my usual flowers and dark chocolate coated figs. I've decided that this grid veggie construct might be a good idea - makes it mobile and convenient to place on top of our current vegetable patch which is currently composting.

Sunday was off to Harndorf, a little German town 1/2 hour away from where we were on the hills. We had our pasties and sausage roll + buttered finger buns. Talk about being able to eat your way through the town but we didn't. Somehow we've come good with balancing needs and wants. The cheeses were the hardest to resist.

It's Cabaret weekend next week...so looking forward to not doing any cleaning for once.

Its hard having a garden but sometimes all that green somehow makes it all worthwhile.

Hope that your Grounded experience was a good one.
