Early May Bank Holiday

Despite a deluge of rain throughout the evening and night, the early May Bank Holiday has been a glorious day. The male guardian and I popped along to the May Fair, as we have  done for many years. We have always purchased a number of plants from a delightful team at one of the regular stalls; they are renowned for their good quality plants. Today was no different and we purchased some glorious geraniums for the window boxes along with numerous other tempting plants for pots around the sanctuary garden. The male guardian also most generously bought me a new basket of a most delightful shape and size, the dear, kind man knows me too well. 

After a light repast, we spent some time reviewing and clearing the log shed in preparation for next winter's wood. This has been stacked for a year or so drying and will now be cut, chopped a stacked once more in the log shed ready for use. We are most fortunate to have had the space to build a large log shed when we moved here many years ago, that has two bays. Each year a bay is allocated for the fires and the other to be drying in preparation for the following year. We have also tidied and sorted the shed in to a semblance of working order. Such a fruitful weekend.

After a small supper we have spent the evening quietly and I have taken the opportunity to add the odd row or two to one of the garments bound for the Australias; so very satisfying. I do so hope your weekend has been equally good.
