I did tell you my head had been lost up in a cloud somewhere, well this is the cloud! On Valentines day Jay gave me a set of keys which belongs to a warehouse and this warehouse is now mine. I know I was bowled over too! I have always wanted my own little business and now I have been given the opportunity.

I am opening a craft emporium incorporating a coffee shop. I will be selling handmade crafts that I myself have made as well as a select few crafts from people I have met the past year whilst doing craft fairs. I will also be doing and selling shabby chic furniture. I will be running craft workshops and holding  weekly/monthly crafting coffee mornings.

Life is going to be very hectic but I am so looking forward to this new challenge. I will keep you updated on my progress.

Right now on to my gardening news...

I popped into the greenhouse yesterday and was hoping to find something green had grown, well I did find something green had grown...mould! I sowed the seeds just before we had that week of snow and it has been very cold and damp since.

My greenhouse is not heated and I only dampened the soil not soaked it at all but a slight mould has formed on the soil. The peas look like they might break through and the broad beans looks like there has been a bit of movement. We did have some warmish weather the past three days however it has turned rather cold again and we have been forecast more of the dreaded white stuff!

The girls still have their very own pond/swamp, I am not sure what to do. I did put down more bark but that has disappeared. I think the only option I have is to get my bucket and spade out and scoop out the sloppy mess, or try to dig it in but the ground is just so sodden.

Right I must dash I have a long list of jobs I need to get done today. Just a quick reminder about the competition that I have running. Click HERE and you will find the post and all the details. It is really simple just leave a comment at the bottom of that post and your name will be entered into a free draw.

And finally... I would like to say a big hello and welcome to my new followers, I hope you enjoy your time here. I would also like to thank each and everyone of you for your continued support. Until next time X

Rampaging chickens!

Our sunshine has gone and been replaced with wet and windy weather. The good thing is my water butts are full and the garden looks good. It is typical for the UK it's a bank holiday weekend to celebrate the Queens Diamond Jubilee and many people have four days off and the weather takes a turn for the worst!

The girls have been right little so and so's, they have decimated both my tayberry and blueberry bushes. There is no way for me to protect these and as they were only planted last autumn they are quite small, and even smaller now the girls have been at them!

When it is time to go back into the run they no longer come nicely even with treats Dory is always the last and I have to often corner her to catch her. Last night it took me more than half an hour to coax her back in and the others were trying to get back out! I will need to invest in some more corn as this is one of their favorites and is sure to get them back in the run.

Still not much action going on in the greenhouse, it looks like I will be only having the two courgette plants this year and they are both the same variety unfortunately. It appears that many other gardeners have been having problems with germination this year and no one seems to know why according to all the gardening blogs that I read. I will just have to put it down to not being a good year and hope that what has grown will give a good crop.

And finally.....I have to go and water the greenhouse as we going out tonight, so that just leaves to wish you all a great weekend until next time x
