Getting ready for Spring

In the UK, it is officially British Summertime because the clocks went forward last weekend.   I have lived here for 25 years now and it still confuses me because it is certainly not summer yet!  However, the weather lately has been wonderful.  So much so, that I have bought all kinds of seeds and pots to plant with my grandson, Corbyn!  His mother is going away for the weekend and I get to spend more time than usual with Corbyn.  So, we are going to get our hands dirty!  I am really looking forward to it.  I know he has planted things at his child minder and also at the little nursery school he attends, but I have never done this with him! So it will be fun!!

Whitney is getting ready for her and Corbyn to move into a flat.  I have not seen it yet, but it sounds very nice.  Of course, I will be very sad to see them go, but I understand that it is time for this to happen - if not really overdue for them to have flown the nest!

Martin is still working hard on completing his university work prior to graduating. He is always so busy with so many different aspects of his life.

Alan started a new job at the airport, just for the summer.  He had retired in October, but I think he was just home too much. 

Last night, I went to a sort of gardening talk with my neighbour and some of her friends.  I didn't know what to expect and, if she had told me we were going to plant seeds and transplant seedlings, I would not have looked forward to it.  Haven't we all planted seeds and transplanted seedlings?  Well, yes, we have, but not correctly!  It was a very interesting meeting last night and we all agreed to meet again next week.  There were only five women and James, the gardening expert, who talked us through how to prepare compost and how to treat those little baby roots on seedlings.  That is not the reason I am fired up about planting with Corbyn though.  That was planned last week!

As a result of being rushed, all of us were on our own for dinner:  I had a bowl of porridge, Mom made one of her freezer meals and I have no idea what the others did!  That does not happen very often!
