Outside the Silkie chicks and mum had taken themselves to bed, snuggling down into the dry straw I put in their house this morning.
In spite of the chill I had a Wednesday walk this morning and this afternoon met my teacher and assistant in St Neots for outdoor Tai Chi practice. We all wore coats and gloves .
Today was perfect, starting with a splendid sunrise and ending with a brilliant sunset.
J has put seed potatoes into bags inside one of the poly tunnels. With a mild winter and a bit of luck we might be eating new potatoes in May
I used the last of the stored Bramlet apples to make three cakes – they are now in the freezer although I am tempted to take one out tonight as a slice of cake goes well with my afternoon coffee!
Tomorrow might be dry so we can carry on tidying the garden in preparation for spring planting.
I decided to visit mum today instead of my usual Tuesday fixture. We both felt cold and subdued on such a grey and gloomy day but it was good to see her.
On the way home I stopped on the A1 for petrol – at my favourite cheap and cheerful and somewhat run down station where, for some reason, they sell kosher pretzels. Probably just to tempt me! I always succumb. From the forecourt I had a great view of the wind turbines that I drive past every week.
Happy that….
But very sad that
