Snowdrops


At the beginning of last week, we were treated to murky, misty, and, to be frank, absolutely miserable weather — the sort that makes staying indoors feel like the only sensible option.

Of course, with Ruby around, that really isn’t an option. She has a lot of energy that needs using up, otherwise we’re faced with full-blown doggy sulks. So we wrapped up warmly and headed over to Temple Newsam. As usual, Ruby likes to kick things off with a game of chase, and Martyn had to keep adjusting his throws so they didn’t go so far that she vanished from sight altogether.

In the bleak midwinter

On Thursday, a sharp ping on my phone announced that another delivery of manure had been dropped off. That could only mean one thing: we would have to go to the allotment and shift it. Although the load had technically been unloaded onto our plot, it has to be tipped at the edge, where it threatens to overspill onto the narrow roadway that encircles the site.
