Brilliant Weekend

For us this was a brilliant weekend. For the last six weeks we've had the worry of cancer hanging in the air. In Saturday's post I got the results that the biopsies I'd had taken showed no evidence of cancer. What a relief!! The last six weeks has been a very, very long six weeks.

The weather was decent over the weekend too with plenty of sunny spells and only a drop of rain late on Saturday evening. On the plot that gave us chance to get our early potatoes, Casablanca planted. I would have like to have dug over a bed earmarked for our early brassicas bought from Marshalls but the soil was too wet and claggy so I decided it was better left to dry out a little. Looking at the weather forecast for next week that might be a little bit optimistic.
We spent some time continuing our spring tidy up, a bit of weeding, strimming and edge trimmer. By the time we left on Sunday afternoon parts of the plot looked fairly tidy especially with our fruit bushes starting to leaf up.
Now we need that weather forecast to be wrong.
