The farmers of small plots & large plots are busy in the Spring weather.
You can see Harrys little raised bed where he grows his potatoes, cabbages & salad stuff. Potatoes early crop are under cover & some second earlies planted today.
We ordered the at the beginning of April & they arrived this morning.
The big farmers are working the fields ploughing, harrowing & planting.
The field beyond our little plot will have maize planted....the whole farm is looking well, very different to a few weeks ago when the land was so wet & flooded.
Three good things:
1. I walked to put our prescriptions into the doctors. I didn’t linger today as I was a bit tired so just a three mile walk.
2. Loads less junk mail....one small advantage at the moment.
3. Our local Care home has been on the news today. A lovely story about a care nurse who had a cushion printed with picture of a residents late wife...instead if kissing het photo he can now have her in his arms. He is in his nineties. Was so lovely to see & very moving. My daughter in law worked there years ago as a staff nurse so it was lovely to watch. They were interviewed by both channels on tv this morning but it was only tonight I realised it was our local one. That nurse was a little angel.
Such lovely weather for the farmers big and small to go about their business . Gary spent the afternoon digging over a flower border the hadn't been touched for years and re-edge the lawn - it had gone very tatty ! .
I didn't realise the Care home was near to you - so wonderful and caring of the young carer - Such a wonderful young girl !
@beryl About a mile & a half away...I saw this morning it said Preston but nearly fell over tonight when it said Thistleton Lodge! My friends mum is in there, of course no visiting.
People are planting gardens who never have before. If they lift the Stay-at_home orders I wonder what will become of these gardens. Yours though seems in good hands.
@aguycalledjack yes it’s the as you turn left at traffic lights & down road a bit on your left. Gives you heart that people can be happy in a care home doesn’t it Jack?
Lovely, looks like a rewarding work. And I agree about the junk mail! Isn't it brilliant not to have it at the moment? Mind you, I would love to get more regular post again. We seem to only get it once every few days if that. I know the Drs posted me out a prescription 1st Class last Friday but it isn't here yet!
Yes, the weather is lovely at the moment, and It was nice yesterday to be able to walk over the fields without being bogged down. Very much like Harrys raised bed, I bet you can't beat home grown vegetables! Lovely shot here of over the fields and beyond.
Farming is so important, as long as the trucks can still move our crops I think we will be okay. Regarding the nurse, do many people are doing so many kind things during this time, makes me have so much hope for our future.
Love your #3!

And I saw that chap getting his cushion on BBC news this evening. What a lovely carer.
