Pilgrim’s progress beyond Slough

I haven’t been around much for the last couple of weeks. In fact my last post was on my birthday and concerned the Six Nations final games (men) which resulted in Wales being awarded the Wooden Spoon having failed to win a single game.

Now some people, mainly those who don’t really know me, might think I had wandered into the Slough of Despond.

This Pilgrim is too wise to venture into such a negative area, better to take a longer route than to be sucked down in despair.

Since my birthday I had every intention of “getting things done”, the first of which would be to clear the unwanted growth in the area round the pond in the front garden in readiness for creating a wildlife mini-meadow.

Unfortunately the weather in the last two weeks has not been conducive to regular work in the garden.

Then again a rainy day means I can get on with indoor activities.

Sorting the garage workshop out; tidying the loft to make sure I know what is where; reorganising the study so that I can actually use it as a study; baking bread; and so it goes.

At least when it doesn’t rain I know exactly what I’ll be doing.

Hopefully over the next week I will have the time to tell you how the garden is progressing; how my foxes are getting on; what the hedgehogs are up to; whether or not I find something in the loft I had forgotten about; or just comment on odd things I have found on social media.

See you tomorrow – unless the sun comes out.
