The return of spring... fingers crossed!

As we are now in May, I'm hoping that today marks a change in the weather and the return of spring!  We've had so much rain these last couple of weeks, it was a welcome change to wake up to sunshine this morning and to be able to get washing out on the line.  I made the most of today's sunny, blustery day and got our bed linen stripped, washed and out on the line.  Here's our washing billowing away in the breeze!

I'm pleased that my violas have survived the recent weather and are blooming!  They bring welcome colour and cheer to my patio!

With good luck, the rest of the week will stay dry and then we'll be able to give the grass a much-needed cut at the weekend!  The ground's just been too soggy of late to even attempt it.

Mr Frugal's seedlings are coming along and the tomato plants in particular seem to be doing really well.  It looks like we'll have an abundance of radishes and beetroots too!  The spring onions don't seem to have made a start - perhaps its just been a bit on the cold side for them.  We grew them so easily last year!  So I think we'll sow some more and see what happens.

As always, the children have been lending a hand with anything remotely related to mud!

Best Wishes
