time flies, waterlogged allotment, barrington park estate,fifteen clumps, the horseman by tim pears
Time has flown.
Much of it spent trying to catch up with everything so that I could take a few days off around Easter.
The aim of this holiday was to prepare the allotment for sowing and planting... Not a chance. It was waterlogged after the recent snows and now the rain doesn't stop.
Talking of the recent snows, we went for a lovely walk on the Barrington Park Estate after the last lot. Rather beautiful views. Some deep - three to four foot - drifts on the old drove road, though.
There was ice on our pond that weekend and I don't yet know whether the clumps of frog spawn that had been laid by then survived. Time will tell. Though there is now no shortage of frog spawn - there are fifteen clumps. More than I have ever seen in our pond before. There was a lot of splashing!
Reading a brilliant book at the moment - one of the two by Tim Pears that I mentioned the other day: The Horseman.

Love Tim Pears books. Have just finished The Wanderer. Just beautiful and so readable.
