What's all that white stuff?!

So, I guess it snowed over the weekend. Of course, the first thing Sybil and I did Saturday morning was go outside to play in it. Not to the park, for as I suspected the hills of which were packed with eager kids, both young and old, sledging away. No; Sybil and I visited our secret clifftop on the edge of Kimberworth.

We had the place to ourselves, and there were hardly any prints in the fresh snow. First we played catch:

Please excuse the fact that I am wrapped up well and Sybil is left to freeze with no coat on. She is warm enough, I assure you.

Look at that fine form

Oops, missed!

Where's that darn snowball gone?

Hmm, perhaps I'm no good at this game...

Then we built a snowdog. I say we: Sybil was more interested in eating the snow than building with it, so the resulting mess is mostly my own work.

Snowdog

Can you see the resemblance?

Nope Mum, nothing like me; especially now I knocked it's nose off.

And a bit of posing to finish. Enjoy what remains of the snow; hopefully it will be gone soon, so I can get back to work on the allotment.

See you soon!

I'm back! And I have an allotment plot.

Hey there, faithful readers! I'm back blogging after a prolonged break. I'm sorry to say that is has been a sad year for myself and my family; my mum became very ill during the summer and sadly passed away in September. Needless to say, I haven't been in the mood for blogging much. On top of that, I've also moved to a pleasant little flat near the centre of town. Sybil of course has moved in with me, and we have already got ourselves an allotment plot sorted in lieu of a garden.

Hmm, guess it needs a bit of work, but one thing I'm not scared of is getting my hands dirty. I've already made a good start on clearing the long grass, and the fence on the right is now repaired (sort of) so Sybil can join me on my digging days.

Another "before" picture. As you can see it is a decent size, and plenty big enough for growing veg and flowers, whilst leaving a Sybil-friendly space.

There were several plots to choose from, but the main reason I chose this one is for this beauty:

It has a huge greenhouse :o). A few panels missing here and there, but nothing I can't fix. I may finally get my tomatoes to ripen next year. I've never been very successful with them so far.


So, I'll be dropping in regularly with updates on the allotment plot, as well as reporting on the adventures Sybil and I get up to on our walks. I shall see you all very soon :o)
