The Garden Beckons...

Not to me...too many spiders at this time of the year..well any time actually! The weather is nice today, just a bit blowy but no rain as yet anyway. VT has been our clearing leaves and cutting down some plants today, and generally getting the summer stuff cleared away. He is ggod in the garden and gets it looking good whatever the season. We have noticed this year that a lot of the plants have somewhat overgrown this summer particularly in the front garden. The barrel was especially bad for that. We had planted a little fuschia in the middle of the dwarf geraniums and cineraria aand it was practically dwarfed itself. Well the spring bulbs are in now so we shall see when they come up.
Sent my Bauble swap this morning off to Maidenhead Berks. Wonder when that will arrive. Got mine yesterday a nice little set of six ornaments for the tree. At least they arrived in one piece, my last years bauble arrived in about a thousand bits, completely shattered.
Jane rang up a bit ago a bit worried about a couple of her friends who didn't pass their exams and have been told they can't continue with their course. Seems a shame to give up a year of your time to do a course then fail part way through. Jane passed all hers though, ands she was worried about them too. She should have more confidence in herself though, she is a clever girl.
Tonight we are having:
Steak and Mushroom pie Quorn ones
Mashed potato
Green vegetables.
Mushroom gravy
