Today (Friday 14th March) was the first sniff of Spring I've had. Walking the dogs along the cycle track (NCN24) this evening, it was seeping out of the mud as it warms, Hawthorn and Ramsons; it comes so suddenly. Everything's raring to go, particularly the poor pot-bound, newly fed and sheltered sweet-peas. Jo's desperate to get them in the ground, so tomorrow morning we've enlisted Finn and Tom (one half of the mighty, mighty Chevrons) to come and help us have a go at skinning the remaining tunnel. It's a gamble, but will it work?! . . . . . (Jon)
