This weekend has been all about crafting and gardening for a change. No walking. No van still. But time to catch up with other stuff, in particular the 5 foot high thistle that DH dug up today! Both of us set about tacking the weeds that have been steadily increasing over the last few weeks. It was hard work, but needed to be done, and the garden looks loads better now.
Aswell as weeding I also planted up my camper planters that my mum bought me for Christmas - time to get rid of some old pots and bring in some cheery new ones .....
They look fab outside the patio doors! I also planted up the tubs to go outside the front of the house (I'll take a photo when they look a bit more settled). My tomato plants are doing really well too .....
....so we should be in for a good crop this year. I'm thinking it could be a chutney making year again like it was a few years ago when we had a glut of tomatoes .....
Yesterday I spent most of the day crafting. I haven't had many full days recently where I've been able to set up and just craft. So I did a lot of painting yesterday .....
.....and managed to finish a friend for Splodge - meet Cleo! Pretty pink Cleo.
I have to say they look quite cute together......
And to finish the weekend off, I made a delicious lemon cake after tea. I haven't done any baking for weeks and really miss having homemade cakes and biscuits (not so good for the diet though).
I don't think the cake will last long .....
