1. It’s too sunny to stay inside. Outside, it’s too warm to work in anything more than a t-shirt.
1b. I give the greenhouse glass a proper wash, not like the slap dash effort I did last year. It looks unbelievably clear afterwards and even with the untidy pots inside, it makes the whole garden that bit nicer.
1c. Repotted plants: cleaned pots, surrounded by fresh soil. Three in a row, eight in a grouping, and two on top of the staging. All ready to grow.

2d. From sitting on my chest for morning hugs to a full babyboy cuddle as I’m finishing up in the garden, Kaufman is an amazingly soft chap today.
2e. Tilda mews from under the blanket to let me know she’s made a little fort.
3. A well balanced grown up dinner followed up by a sugartastic childish dessert. Both are yum.
