Swimming, 30th December 2020
Another late session, and just before I left we got the news that we will be in a tier four Covid restrictions area from tomorrow, so that’s swimming over with for an unspecified period of time 🙁 Very disappointed about … Continue reading
Swimming, 29th December 2020
Another late session rather than my usual lunchtime slot thanks to timetable rearrangements during the school holidays. I did the same set as last time again: having had five days off I thought that was probably sensible. It showed too, … Continue reading
Damage from Storm Bella
Storm Bella may have brought us the strongest winds we’ve had here for some years and given the saturation of the ground I was concerned that we might see a few trees come down. We appear to have got off … Continue reading

A winter lettuce bites the dust
Whilst in the greenhouse today I noticed that one of the lettuces I’ve been growing for winter salads appears to be keeling over. I assume it has failed to cope with either the cold or lack of light, or both … Continue reading
Bindweed horrors!
I meant to post this the other day after I completed the no dig conversion of the polytunnel. Early last year my father-in-law planted some early carrots and lettuce in the last wooden-sided bed to be removed, but it ended … Continue reading
No dig polytunnel #4
Over the last couple of days I’ve been pushing forward with work to convert the polytunnel to “no dig” and today I’ve pretty much completed that. There’s still work to be done, with support wires needing moving and a little … Continue reading
Swimming, 23rd December 2020
Thanks to other things that needed sorting out I didn’t swim in my usual post-lunch slot today, but a few hours later at 5:30pm. It felt quite odd, not just turning up at the pool in the dark, but swimming … Continue reading
Swimming, 22nd December 2020
I wasn’t able to get to the pool yesterday, so today was my first swim of the week. I stuck with the same set as last Thursday and Friday. I didn’t really feel on top of my game — for … Continue reading
Veg plot 2021: More preparation
I happened to be chatting with a friend a few weeks back who said that if I was thinking of buying some fleece for the veg plot then he’d be interested in getting some at the same time. It’s getting … Continue reading
No dig polytunnel #3
It’s been a while waiting for the peppers to finish so I can remove more of the edged beds from the polytunnel, but I’m finally there and that’s what I’ve been doing over the last couple of days as time … Continue reading
