Garden porn

Well the Wasps game was cancelled last night because of a frozen pitch – which was lucky for me, because I was still too tired to really go but ticket holders will automatically receive new tickets for the rescheduled match.

Instead, we sat down to a lovely meal and watched Lark Rise to Candleford (I’ve become completely hooked and not just because of the occasional glimpse of a heavy horses) and Around the World in 80 Gardens which frankly is just garden porn.

I made the mistake of going in to Woolworths in my lunch – I’m now the proud owner of a large garden pot, an olive bush and two packs of Dutch Iris bulbs. I personally don’t like olives, but my partner loves them and it would be quite cool if we could grow some of our own. I need to pick up poo tonight as well. Horse poo in case you’re wondering; from a local stable. We need it for the garden and it needs time to rot down. We’ve given up on our lawn so we’re building another raised vegetable bed, having a gravelled seating area, building up the flower bed and hopefully having a chicken run! All our soft fruit and the more expensive shrubs are being planted into pots so that when we move we can take them with us. I can’t believe the time and money we spent on the lawn but that’s what comes with having a very dry summer, followed by a very wet one. Ah well, you live and learn!
