I'm trying to factor some form of moving into my day right now. With the weather being so cold and, frankly, dark and dismal every day, it's so hard to get motivated. We are told to stay at home but it's driving us mad. On Tuesday we took a long walk to the local Crematorium where lots of family members are buried, ashes interred or scattered and, probably, where we will ultimately end up 😅 I'm ashamed to say that it has been so long since I last visited that it took me a while to locate the plot where my mum and dad are. The whole site has been opened up and extended so much that it all looked completely different but I found their stone in the end. When we can, we intend to go back and take a plant or something so that it doesn't look neglected. Even if I could get hold of some flowers they wouldn't last 5 minutes in the bitter cold.
As you can see from the photo above, our allotment is totally bare. This shot gives a better idea of how much ground we have to cultivate. The area covered by polythene sheeting nearest the camera will be the potato bed, the next prepared bed will contain fruit bushes (G has put in 6 raspberry canes and a blackberry) The apple trees need pruning but we hope to do it in slightly warmer weather.
I have also taken up my knitting needles again. I used to knit quite a lot of baby stuff for charity but, with the shops all being closed, it seems a bit pointless so I'm knitting myself some fingerless mittens. I quite fancy knitting a long cardigan but can't get the yarn I like as it's out of stock. I think the whole country must be knitting! Nay....perhaps the world!
Are you a knitter? What do you have on the go?
Before I go, a warm welcome to another new follower. I'm sorry I can't tell who you are. Blogger has removed the facility of hovering over the avatar to find the name. Welcome anyway 😀
Stay safe everyone wherever in the world you happen to be x
