Doesn't time fly?

It is difficult to believe that a couple of weeks have passed since we last posted. We have been busy, as usual. One of our main priorities, lately, has been to get the Wheelhouse sorted out. The builders finished work on the new upstairs en suite bathroom a couple of weeks ago (and a very good job they did, too) and we have been busy since then decorating it. There is just a bit of grouting and a final coat of paint to go now. All the signs are that this is going to be great success. We also hope to finish the redecoration of the living room, get a new TV and re-paint and change some of the bedroom furniture before our first guests arrive at the next bank holiday weekend.

I have also been doing some work to get Tiny Dancer ready for the season. I hope she will go back in the water at the next set of spring tides in a couple of weeks time.

Back at Sorley, the fruit trees in the orchard are in full flower, most of the vegetable crops are sown (even if the mice have already pinched most of the onion sets I sowed!). Now I just need to make a couple more raised beds so I can plant out my brassicas and beans when they are ready.

We have moved the hen house into the menage area where it will be easier to move it on fresh "grass", periodically. We have also been letting the chooks out to free range in this area. They obviously love scratching around here but they also managed to make a dust bath amongst my onions (all in all, it has not been a great week for onions).

I am just about to settle down with a beer or three to watch the Bath game on the TV. If they win today, we hope to go up to Twickenham for the final. Come on you Baaa.....ath!
