Spring has arrived! After a week of snow and ice, and a formidable wind-chill, the sun has arrived, and suddenly we have snowdrops and aconites. I spent a good part of the day in the garden, beginning to build the raised beds we have been planning for some time. It has been a day of hard physical labour, as the balks of timber were still slightly damp, which made sawing them more effort than I had expected. I’m quite pleased with the way it is shaping up, however, and I like to think that I might finish the first of them tomorrow.
I never expected, faced with an evening with no special demands on my time, that I would actually feel too tired even to imagine.
