Non gaming stuff

 The weekend saw progress in the garden-

My youngest helped out.
Cutting a bush back dramatically allowed access to water butt and far corner.
Sorting out a plastic pot dumping ground has enabled another growing area to be reclaimed.
I was able to repair the broken cold frame with the above. The below is the result.

Seeds were planted and l await the joy of their germination…
Yesterday saw a wee away day. The first day of my new course was postponed so l went off by bus into the city and beyond…
Breakfast at Soderberg at the West End. I then nipped on an X7 for Dunbar, alighting at Haddington.
Coffee , cake and “1942” by Peter Englund in Falko. See more-


A bargain buy in the Oxfam shop in Haddington prior to a couple of bus rides home. A grand day out . I managed to nearly complete the weasels, stoats and rats. Their gallant opponents in the shape of Mr Toad and chums will be worked on today…

  1. Yes I've been busy in the garden, we came back from holiday to find the weeds had sprouted everywhere.

  2. I have a soft spot for Haddington. I rented a cottage on the lennoxlove estate many years ago.
    The garden is looking tidy and possibly ready for summer campaigning?

    1. Me too regarding Haddington.
      The rain has returned so alfresco gaming is on the back burner sadly!

  3. Gardening season is really upon us, most of my free time has been spent in the garden and not at the painting table. Yours is taking shape very nicely and your cold frame looks great and should produce a good harvest.

  4. Thanks. It is a continuous battle against the weeds. I was winning but now the rain has returned frustrating my efforts.
