One Down...Many To Go

Tried out one of my lifelong ambitions at the weekend, actually tried out skiing, this was on my list of things to do before I die (bit morbid , I know

but if you don't get aff yer butt and do these things, before long you've left it too late!). We went to Aviemore in the Cairngorms, the snow was still plenty and the weather was fabulous, only expected to be able to stand up on the skis without falling, but actually managed to go on ski tow without falling off and skied down to bottom(well, mid way), only falling twice, I was fair chuffed with myself and would certainly like to have a go again, all be it a bit pricey for an old scrouge like myself.

back to the allotment....... got a good bit of digging done last week, tattie bed almost done, (think I've laid aside a bit too much of my plot for them, as I have lots of other stuff to get in, but we shall see and if this is the case, cut down on them next year, not had time to get greenhouse up yet and may struggle to get off to a quick start without one, however I'm sure I will catch up. planted some Jerusalem artichokes which I recieved from a dear lady (Sarah), who sadly passed away one week later, these will grow in her memory for many years and hopefully I'll have more to share with other friends in the coming years........until later....Happy Gardening....Veggie
