Better late than never.

Luke has eventually got around to getting his garlic planted. He has dug over the veg patch and chilled his garlic for a day in the fridge before he plants it. We were going to spend more time in the garden  but the weather is still too wet to do much.I sat outside whilst he dug so as to keep him company but soon got so chilled I wimped out and went back indoors. Having tidied the monochrome border and being chuffed to see the primulas pushing through the earth  I decided that the garden really would have to wait another few weeks before it had dried out enough to not compact the earth when I stood on it. We ended up going to Bath instead to pick up the vintage mannequin I had won on EBay and to visit friends who had moved there a few years ago. If you are checking this place out and are not from the UK do Google 'Bath, England' as it's a beautiful Georgian town with the most wonderful Bath stone, all honey coloured. The Royal Crescent is the jewel in the crown and it's a real tourist trap. It also houses the natural springs which formed the Roman baths which are now excavated and can be viewed. Fascinating stuff.
