Diary of a weekend gardener

Gardening, cycling and planning

After three days of gardening we set off with the bikes in the car in unpromising cool drizzle. It just about cleared up by the time we stopped and we managed a pleasant hour or so of country cycling in rural west Cheshire.

We got back to warm sunshine and hot cross buns which set me up for a construction session, building staging for the polytunnel out of old IKEA shelving ends and strips of wood. Messrs Heath and Robinson would be proud of it.

Spring flowering plants soak up every scrap of warmth to press on. This is the same magnolia bud I photographed yesterday.
