Apart from that I have had a lovely day, I love the rain and getting my hair wet and as you say, the garden needs it - it smells lovely and fresh. I have just cleaned the oven and feel very pleased with myself!Elderberry-Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197689596360708239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-28519094992231077572012-04-09T14:16:48.467+01:002012-04-09T14:16:48.467+01:00No Bank Holiday here in Ontario, Chris is tapping ...No Bank Holiday here in Ontario, Chris is tapping away at the computer in his office and I have a pile of ironing to do.

A cake fest in the Church hall will be fine but not the live bands playing in the pub gardens which we were going to. Lots of cafes / restaurants participating with lots of activities all week - a foodie's Heaven !<br />Good luck with the tatty greenhouse & I look forward to seeing your pics xBadPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889591351222591488noreply@blogger.com
