The broadband has remained off and now we have entered the fourth week. It is a frustration without but we are managing sharing the dial up. Hopefully, fingers crossed there will be some progress.

I have managed to put in a second batch of Garlic now that the soil has dried out in the veg patch. A little later than I would have liked but not too disastrous. It is shop bought so I am interested to see how it fairs against our own produce from last year.

The Poplar trees are going great guns on the drive and in a week or so will be in full leaf. I need to get some more hardwood cuttings this week otherwise the opportunity will be lost.

The barn is at a standstill because I have been helping Mat out with a terrace but by the middle of the week I hope to doing the insulation and then start the plasterboard for the ceiling.

I am sorry that the updates are so few and far between but I promise to get my act together once this telephone line is sorted. We are getting nearly a thousand hits a week now and I do not want to lose this juice which has taken over two years to build.
