Alas, until I empty one of the composers I don't have room for any of it.

So, to the tip it will go and the council can turn it into something useful. At least we're still allowed to take garden waste to the tip without being charged, for now...

What is going on with the weather? It was so warm in my study yesterday that I had the window open, and the central heating did not kick in at all last night or this morning. It is still the middle of Feb right? Did have a bit of a lie in and miss a month or two??

It was 15 celsius here (Macclesfield) yesterday! Pity it wasn't dry as it would've been nice to have a bike ride.

I'm afraid I think we all know the answer to that one Trevor. The world's scientists have been trying to tell us for quite some time, and it looks like the chickens are coming home to roost now.

Lovely here in Shrewsbury today also. Definitely spring like. I actually did some garden maintenance. Can't wait to tax the bike on March 1st, whereupon winter will return.

Morning org.

It was 18C yesterday morning when I left someone's house in Meifod. It's the middle of February......

Heading out for a walk in the sun with Mabel this morning.

Well, that felt like a reasonably productive day. Walked Mabel, then into town for a haircut and some groceries, back home and planted about 20 native bluebells and some dwarf iris which had been sitting in pots waiting to go in the ground. Finally, cut down the dead sunflowers from last year.
Dinner now.

Rode 135 miles on the GSX accompanying my friend Alan on a BSA Goldstar 650. Rode to where the Ouse and the Trent meet to form the Humber at Alkborough (North Lincs) for coffee and cake. Then across the county to JJ's at Hagworthingham (Lincs) for (green) tea for me and lunch for Alan. Then back home to NE Lincs via Horncastle, Cadwell Park and Louth. Some private organisation had rented Cadwell but couldn't see anything. It's been a great year for snowdrops, they're everywhere in huge numbers.

Despite it being dry there were quite a few areas where water was running off the fields so bike got dirty (again).
