'keeping on top'.....

The fourteen month drought has truly ended and despite the cold, the plants are responding.
So as well as continuing to develop the gardens (whilst elsewhere on site big diggers excavate our foundations), just 'keeping on top' is a challenge.
A great day on Wednesday...

I have been clearing nettles from the vegetable garden area but grabbed 35 minutes up in Picnic Wood and scythed 200 square metres before the rain became so steady that I had to give in...
And throughout, the music of the Mistle Thrush echoing around the woodland: short, evocative, liquid phrases delivered from the tree tops even in the heavy rain.

Oh, what a lovely day to reflect upon! And a Mistle Thrush (not a bird that we have) sounds perfect, too.
Glad things are taking shape and that you've had plenty of rain. We're OK at the moment, but are basically in drought, depending on periodic rainfall to keep things going.
Cheers,

Thanks Lisa. Holiday weekend over here - and heavy rain accompanied by cold weather.. Perfect!
