New Windows
Thursday, March 29, 2007
On Monday 26th March we had new double glazed windows fitted to out house. The old ones were double glazed unit but set in wooden frames, but they were desperate to be changed.
As you can see they have made a big improvement to look and feel of the house. They were fitted by a local firm called Stafford Glazing Ltd.
Now here a some pictures taken today just to hopefully bring a smile to Grandma and Grandpa, and to say looking forward to seeing you on Easter Sunday for our egg hunt xxx

Home grown potatoes
Monday, March 26, 2007
Who'd have thought it! Me growing my own veg! I must be getting old (no comments please).
Well believe it or not, we went out Saturday and bought three bags for growing potatoes in, some seed potatoes, grow bags and tomato seeds. Sounds silly but I couldn't wait to get it all started. The tomato seeds have been sown and the seed potatoes are now chitting.
In readyness for getting the garden straight I had a look at the compost heap I started last year. The bottom half looks fairly good, while the top half still needs some time. I dug out the bottom half, basically so I could turn the whole heap and found, some potatoes had grown in the compost. Maxine must have thrown an old potato away in the compost and it must have seeded. We now have about 9 small potatoes ready for cooking. We'll be trying them later this week.

Cycling to work
Friday, March 16, 2007
I have started cycling to work again now the warmer weather has arrived. I tend to go according to the weather, i.e. when it's not raining and not wanting to over do it I cycle on alternate days, so usually go 2 or 3 days per week. All this means I cycle between 40 and 60 miles per week.
