The last two weeks &#8216;achievements&#8217; have mainly been due to an unexpected early Spring like spell. It seems odd my last Entry had a picture of deep snow in it and this entry has a photo of the vegetable garden dug and the Chickens enjoying the dry spell!

In the Vegetable Garden
I&#8217;ve now dug four fairly [...]]]></description>

The last two weeks have been, as it&#8217;s Charles Dicken&#8217;s 200th. birthday, a take of two Cities, last week sub zero temperatures and embedded in snow, then this week, mild relatively sunny and altogether too nice!
At present I&#8217;m in Southampton doing a bit of Grandchild sitting and enjoying a break from the scenery around Ashford.

A wee bit late in posting because I haven&#8217;t been up to much, so thought I&#8217;d wait a couple of days to show off my new Car !!
In fact, I haven&#8217;t been well and for the last 10 days or so been pretty much grounded with a Chest Infection.
This seems to have come about from [...]]]></description>

So, here we are again, another year, another struggle? Who know&#8217;s, just go for it and who know&#8217;s what it will bring.
Looking back at 2011 down the Lane
2011 was very good to me personally; I managed by cycle ride from John O&#8217;Groats to Land&#8217;s End fulfilling a lifetime dream, I battled and got through the [...]]]></description>

The Work floods in!
It&#8217;s strange, when the Cricket season finished I had no work planned at all and since then I&#8217;ve never stopped it seems!
Luckily I have diversity; there&#8217;s the Pond I&#8217;ve been doing, decorating and gardening work. This allows me to work around the weather and go to where suits best for that and [...]]]></description>

Once again, much done in the way of work covering inside and out, guess it&#8217;s what make&#8217;s the World go round for me through the Winter months.
At last I finished the Paving Slabs with Folly / Grandstand thingy on top. This was delayed a couple of times due to &#8216;client re-thinks&#8217;, but [...]]]></description>

Busy busy
My, the cricklet season ended five weeks ago with me thinking I could get on with mountains of website work catch up and I&#8217;ve hardly stopped! Luckily a fairly high percentage of this has been enjoyable.

Last week I spent Tuesday to Friday with my good friends John and Val Harrison at [...]]]></description>

It was a long Spring this year!!
Here I am getting on with my Autumnal Chores quite efficiently and along comes Summer on 28th. September resulting with me sitting in my Garden Office shedding pounds through the 28 degree outside. What is happening?!!
Needless to say, in the next Diary entry I have no doubt you will [...]]]></description>

So the Autumn begins proper, the rushing around with work at the Cricket Club intermingled with the occasional odd jobs around the home and garden is replaced with lots of catch up and preparation for the colder months to come.
My lonely Room &#8211; the Dressing Room closes
The Dressing Room closes for Winter
