Gloriously sunny day.

 It's been a real scorcher up here in the frozen north and I have enjoyed pottering around in the garden most of today. It's all starting to spring to life out there and my newly sprouted grass seed is looking almost like it's a part of the existing lawn. It seems to have gone from nothing to something in a matter of days. If we can get some more fresh turf on Sunday I plan to extend it even further.  It'll look patchy and bitty for a while but will be lovely once it all meshes together. The nights are still very cold and my poor Camellia bush has been very badly frost burned.  I am hoping that as it gets a little more established it will toughen up a bit. I have a lovely tub of very fragrant narcissi down on the path and my peas for shoots are coming along a treat


Yesterday morning I was staggered to see that I had lost nearly three pounds in two days on the Keto diet but don't want to turn this blog into a diet blog. I'm making a separate blog to track what Tony and I eat and how much we lose over the next month.

  1. Ooh your garden is coming along despite the chilly nights. Our Sasanqua camellias are already flowering & my favourite Japonica one, "Volunteer" has plenty of fat buds. Good to her you are doing well on the Keto diet. Take care & hugs.

    1. My poor camellia is very frost burned. It should be red but looks rusty. I'm loving the Keto diet and watching a lot of videos on You Tube

  2. When you start the blog, please do post the link here as I'll be so interested.

    A shame about the Camellia but it has been very cold, unseasonably so.

  3. I'm staggered at how quickly the pounds are melting off me. I wore a pair of jeans today that could hardly fit over my hips let alone fasten this time last week.
