Spring has sprung at last!

To start us off today, I have some pretty spring flower pictures. Snowdrops on the allotment and some cute little narcissi in the garden. Spring at last!





I don't have any new photos from the allotment but it's all action down there! We went down on Sunday and it was a hive of activity - about 5/6 groups of people digging on their plots. I transplanted all of the strawberries from the garden into what will be the fruit cage, sowed some broad beans and some peas into the beds. I also sowed a load of things in the greenhouse at the house - cabbages, leeks, celery, chillis (2 types) and rocket. Our first early potatoes are well chitted now so are also ready to go in and we have a bed ready so that's for next weekend.

Back at the house, we have done a very typical Bex'n'Matt activity of suddenly ripping the cupboards off the walls in the kitchen. This happened just over a week ago and have only just had the opportunity to do anything about it so have spent the evening stripping wallpaper (Matt) and painting shelf brackets (Bex). But we still have a fair amount to do, as you can see:



The most striking difference in this photo from our kitchen a week ago is the lack of fridge freezer. We decided that we didn't need the big fridge freezer just for the two of us so we went and bought a small, cheap fridge with an ice box and it has really openend up the kitchen. Once the walls are painted and shelves up it'll look lovely I think!
