One month in...
We have been in our new home for one month today! We are settled in now despite being really skint after buying new double glazing yesterday.
We managed to survive the freak weather this week relatively unscathed. Only our back garden flooded which was small fry compared to the houses on the main street. I am desperate to start work on the garden but with rain forecast for the next week it is becoming less likely anything will be done this year.
The tomato plants I put in on the first week are doing well despite the bad weather and I am pinching out the new shoots like Christine showed us! Our raspberries and strawberries are doing less well. They had quite a few fruits on them last week but these have all been washed away with the rain.
During a rare spell of dry weather last weekend I planted some seeds, late I know but I wanted to do some gardening. I planted:
Will take pictures when it has stopped raining.

We are here!
At last, we finally got the keys to our lovely new house last Friday. We have just about got over the exhaustion of moving ourselves but now we are unpacked it all seems worth it.
Hobbes went out for the first time for over a week on Saturday. He didn't get off to the best of starts with the cat next door when he caught him coming through the hole in our fence. He is less freaked out now and seems to be happy with the countryside. No dead mice or birds yet....
Not been able to blog since moving as we have only just got a connection to the internet after arguments with BT.
Here is a picture of our new place. We have spent a fortune already on lighting and soft furnishing and have big plans for the garden.
