mud, mud, glorious mud.

today i spent most of my time wading around in mud.
the grand vale show and good lord it rained.
spent the day promoting the village.
also took the opportunity to have a look around at the various different stalls and fell in love with so many things.
it left me wanting "the good life" more and more. so many wonderful craft stalls, so many beautiful plants. wonderful livestock. and none of it mine. ah well there is always the future.
i did see a wonderful example of an angel trumpet tree. it gave me confidence with mine. i have previously not been convinced that the climate we have here will be conducive to success. but i was assured by the owner it was from his garden and he did nothing more than feed and mulch. so watch this space!
so so sick of this rain though. i have a decking full of plants waiting to be put in but can't do anything until the raised beds are built and can't do that until this rain eases off.
only then can i look at how much garden i have left to play with for veggies.
still only half way through the week and have so much to do!
and two more events to get through...porthkerry and cossie!
but all in all a wet, muddy but good day!
