Busy Saturday

I was out before 9 on a bike ride to the allotment so I could get an early start on the list of activities for the day. Just needed to get the final bit of digging finished and a bit of watering too given the lack of rain recently, despite the relative cold. It didn't take too long and the plot is ready for raking and planting for the next few months. Very pleased with how it is all looking and coming on.

From there I went to Verwood to continue with the trellis for Joy and added the task of cutting the front and back lawns. By this time it was getting quite warm and it was lovely cycling back up the hill without that feeling of being under attack from the chilly wind.

After some lunch I was out again, cutting more lawns and cleaning the motorhome which had some green along the side which butts up against the hedge and makes it look a little uncared for. Looking much better now and a few accessories arrived too - an extending bar which fits the bathroom and allows you to hang things to dry in there, as well as 's' hooks which are for hanging things on the bar and in the bigger cupboard where we have tended to simply pile coats rather than hang them. 

There is also a door hanging tidy which is waterproof and ideal for the bathroom - face cloths, toiletries and so on. There are some adhesive hooks to replace the flimsy plastic towel holder and a basket to hold rubbish which slots over a door to keep it out of the way. All of them add a little bit of value in terms of convenience and saving space. Can't wait for the first of our trips next week, just the one night in west Devon.

There was time for a walk to the woods and then refilling the compost bin and tidying up the back garden before lighting the woodburner and watching a bit of football in the warm. 

A very full day but I got lots done and there's quite a few jobs of the to do list.
