My ranuculus are coming through, I’m so chuffed because it’s taken a long while.

Week 8 of joining in with Nature in the Home at little green shed with Lou, and loving it. x

I am ashamed to say that this plant is the only one that has lasted any time. Annabel gave it to me on the first anniversary of Mum’s death, she is so thoughtful. It had flowers when it arrived but none since, I’m not surprised since it has survived on neglect for nearly 4 years. Home at the moment is in the front room which is L’s temporary bedroom and it’s filled with furniture and other displaced items. Dust and debris don’t seem to be doing it any damage, I must wipe down the leaves and I think L pours the odd bit of water into the pot now and again. Does anyone know how to get it to flower again?

This is my contribution to week 7 of Nature in the Home at little green shed. Joining in with Lou.

Day Forty-Seven

The bungalow has been super busy again today, the plasterers have made it down the stairs and finished the ‘join’ to the hall really well and the bathroom has been skimmed too. The dormers have been undercoated outside and prepped inside. The frame is in for the ensuite door and there is a wall between the new ensuite and the bedroom cupboard. Electrical stuff has been going on too. That’s quite a lot if you ask me.

Other Stuff

The sun has been shining all afternoon and, though it is a bit chilly out of the rays, I have removed the guinea hutch from its winter home to allow the summer-house to be used again. I emptied it, swept out all the hay and debris, put the furniture back in and within 5 minutes my boys and their pal had taken up residence. Typical. It was good to see them outside playing for hours on end I must admit, about time too. This could be spring coming back to cheer us all up a bit. The boys insisted on eating their tea in the summer-house, brilliant, you can tell they’re desperate for good weather too.
