Living in a Box: April Showers

About Living in a Box

2007 will be the year of change in this little house and garden we call "The Box". We have been renting this house for 2 years, and never did much with it (or the garden) as we thought we'd be buying our own home. But we are likely to be here another few years before we can buy, so we are making the house and garden more comfortable. I am also looking for an allotment nearby.

April Showers

At last - April showers have come our way. I'm really very thankful. It's been drizzling on and off all morning - the garden smells wonderful - and it is so mild. The temp will be over 20C today (68F).

I had such a lovely weekend. Yesterday, all the children came for lunch (even my youngest son came from Bristol). It's so nice to see them all laughing and having fun together. I really feel blessed to have such loving children and grandchildren.

In the late afternoon, daughter Fiona and I went off to B&Q to have a look at their garden section (she wanted some herbs), and look what I found.

I am absolutely thrilled with it. It is going to be such a help to me. (I can start more seeds now ! LOL !!) It cost £19.99. Maybe I could have got it cheaper if I'd shopped around. (Please don't tell me if you've seen them at a lower price - I'll be kicking myself.)

Look what else I bought. I'll get a better picture when it's a bit brighter. I took this one last night.
