Briefly warm.... Blink and you'll miss it!

After a brief spell of slightly less arctic weather, we're back to the chilly days and just above freezing nights again.

Of course with it being Friday it's just started chucking it down and the weather for the weekend isn't looking much better! So to cheer myself up here's a basket of goodies which I brought home from the allotment last weekend.

Crumble season is upon us

The first of many rhubarb crumbles .... This cheeky number is sporting a Demerara sugar crust and is just waiting to be drowned in custard.

Crumbly goodness!

Finally some warmer weather!

Managed to finally get the allotment today after a hiatus of about two months due to various issues and the prevailing terrible weather we have been having.

Got the first earlies in - swift and premier and harvested some leeks, rhubarb ( some of it had exploded) and also some daffodils which have cheered the house up. Also pruned the black currants and the blueberries and gave the strawberries a haircut and a feed.

Due to the amount of prep I had done before Christmas the place itself wasn't looking too bad at all, not too many weeds to be seen and the ground seems to be warming up nicely.

Allotment in April-starting to look a bit more lively!
