I have not driven for a couple of weeks and of course as soon as I want to venture forth the road by our cottage has been closed off whilst cable of some sort has been laid. Naturally the utilities companies and council and highways agency do not seem to have the wherewithal to communicate with residents about this kind of thing. Subsequently it has been very frustrating for everyone - not knowing which roads are closed off, which diversions to follow.... or even if there are any! Complete joke. ANYWAY, we managed to get out of Winchcombe and with our middle-aged heads on went to our local garden centre - Gotherington Nurseries. I have done some planning and a little bit of research (with the emphasis on little), and have also been mindful of the [terrible] weather and the usual warnings about not being too hasty to plant anything tender outside, and to be careful of seed-sowing optimism. So, today I put some of those ideas into action and we spent a bit of time and more-than-expected money on quick-fixes for some spring-and-summer colour. I also bought more seeds as I do prefer to grow vegetables and herbs from seed. I think things seem to taste better if you can declare loudly "I grew that!". Such a show-off!
