 Just to say, thought it was time I found a little time for the blog - afterall it was my new year promise to myself...needless to say I'm not doing very well. Anyway, I have been busy with family and crafting and have begun a bit of spring cleaning at home this week, the lovely weather has been inspiring me to get on with things. Have also finally assembled my plastic, budget greenhouse in which I hope to grow tomatoes this year - feeling optimistic today!! Happy Spring everyone!!
