I'm so sorry. It's been ages since I blogged, but I didn't think you'd want to hear about my Mum staying for six weeks while she had her cottage renovated. Nor about how tired we still both were after the season end. Nor about how the wine is still just vouting away in its tanks. Nor that the hens have stopped laying because the days have drawn in. So I didn't write.
However, now we're back in the pink. Mum's thrilled with her new home and all's well with our world. Today Ali and I finished the latest task of putting up a new greenhouse where the unused table by the pool in the top garden used to be.
Our lovely neighbour, Henny, snapped us while we were just beginning to put the glass in. Now, some five hours later, it is finished, save for the internal bits like shelves and the like.
I'm thrilled with it as it was a complete bargain from eBay - 350 euros with free delivery as it was the end of a line. Sure, three pieces of wood were missing and there were nowhere near enough screws, but by complete fluke, we had exactly the necessary stuff in my 'don't-throw-that-out corner'. Oh, and the door doesn't fit by a mile. But we can solve all that with a bit of boxing and coxing.
So now I can start to think of all those wonderful Spring seeds. Bring on the catalogues.
