Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, Vroooooom

I had an early start to my day and had a batch of sunflower seed and oat cookies as well as a tray of cheese scones cooling down before 7 this morning
Then I had a call for help, a friend managed to tumble down the stairs first thing and needed some shopping done.
 No lasting damage but lots of aches and pains, and probably some lurid bruises in a couple of days. 
I went to Parc Trostre as there were things to collect from Bother and Queue, and then over to Testco. Oh what a palaver, I could not find things and possibly got most of my 3 mile walk in up and down the aisles. 
Never Again. The stores at Pontardawe and Ammanford are quite big enough for me.

Back home and shopping delivered and put away I had the dogs to walk before I had time for a cuppa and a quick sandwich. I kid you not my stomach thought my throat was cut.

Then it was on with boots and into the garden. Mr Muscles was busy staking out my path and I was setting seed and planting Polyanthus in the top of  my little stone wall (after weeding it and pulling out mounds of Melissa. AGAIN.)
Then I forked over 2 beds and marked where 3 new trees are to go. I have another Victoria Plum, a Czar Plum and a Sunburst Cherry. They will be in plain view from my sewing room so that I can enjoy the blossom. If I am fleet of foot I may be able to beat the birds and enjoy the fruit as well.

I am off for a badly needed shower before dinner, and then I have to bath Ben. He was the undergardener, or do I mean under the garden. He looked like an oversized mole at one point, but it was my fault for spilling the compost.

  2. Arnica in tablet form is excellent for bruising. I gave E arnica when he fell and did his elbow in the other week. When I was younger and falling off horses with astounding regularity my grand mother used to give me Arnica.

  4. We did manage to get out into the garden but the ground is still like a quagmire after all the rain, tomorrow is another day. You certainly have been busy.

  5. Good for you - it sounds like you have your own orchard a stone's throw from your door. I was going to suggest Arnica (tablets/cream0 for the bruising too.

    My garden is still too wet to work on/in.

  7. Goodness me Pam I imagine there was smoke in the skies over the valleys lol. We've come down to our van on the coast but can't do any gardening it's way to boggy, I have throws everywhere to cover carpet and sofas. People think Shih Tzus are dainty and ladylike but mine love the mud so it's a foot and tummy bath each time they go for a walk :) I'm going to check out your recipes they sound lovey, I do hope you have the beautiful weather we have today, not a cloud in the sky. I'm looking forward to seeing photos of your garden this summer, as my lovely Welsh friend says it sounds lush.

  8. Crikey you were up early! Re bruising: I use Arnica gel and it really helps, I keep a dispenser bottle in the bathroom for GC visits, one of them is always bumping themselves at school.
