Windy Weekend!

I don't know what the weather has been like where you live, but here in the North West of England it's been pretty windy. So although yesterday was quite sunny, the wind made it feel quite chilly and not very nice at all. 

I hid in my greenhouse in the afternoon, out of the wind, attempting to clean it up a bit, ready for my vegetables! I'm late sorting it out this year. Normally I aim to give it a good clear out and pressure wash the inside by March at the latest. This year I've given it a good sweep and sort out, but not pressure washed it. I've been really ruthless with the pots that I'd acquired too, filling two bags with pots and trays! I might regret this later on in the season when I'm looking for smaller pots ............

But at least it's clean, tidy and ready. 

As the weathers not been too nice we opted not to go walking today. The thought of being out on the fells while it's blowing a gale isn't really my idea of fun. So I've had chance to work on some new frames to sell instead. After a quick trip to the craft shop to get some supplies I've come up with these ......

.....with this first one I wanted to keep the design simple to give the words more impact.....

.......with this one being a more fun design  ....

 

......... and by using a darker background colour I was trying to highlight the 'sparkle'. 

All this and then I've potted up 5 cucumber plants and 6 courgette plants in my newly cleaned and sorted greenhouse. This was after cooking with one of our home grown leeks tonight. I picked it yesterday as it was huge! 

......but it cleaned up nicely ........

.....and we've still got some left! So, how many recipes can we find with leeks.......!

We're rapidly getting towards Monday again, sadly. But that also means we're heading towards Thursday too, and Take That for me and DD!!!!! Yay! Can't wait! (we just have to get through the next three days first.........).
