This morning I went for a walk with some friends. It was cold when we set off but the coats came off halfway round. While I was out walking Tony went and collected some more free compost for me. Then while he was out at his men's pie club this afternoon I did all the laundry. I thought it would dry nicely but it turned quite cold and I've had to pop it on the clothes horse to finish drying. We had tea quite late as Tony picked some friends up from the airport. They have spent the past three weeks in Canada and I am looking forward to hearing all about it.
On the garden front I sowed a load of mange tout peas. We'll have them in stir-fry and salads if we get a decent crop. My Cobra beans are flying away now and hopefully I'll be able to harden them off and get them planted out by the weekend. With a bit of luck the slugs will leave them alone. Strawberries are coming thick and fast and the grapes on the vine are swelling nicely. I think there's probably ten bunches which is far more manageable than the forty we got last year. .
