The last week or so of February has been cold and windy, so the garden has not had the attention I’d been hoping to give it. Though the bush roses are pruned, the climbers need pruning and tying back, and it won’t be long before the cornus needs hacking down. Still, the tomatoes have germinated nicely in the heated propagator, and I’ll have a poke through the seed box one of these days to see what else we can get started. The bulbs are starting to provide some colour at last, and we have replanted the basket at the front door with bright coloured primulas.
It’s early days, but there are one or two encouraging glimpses of sense in the world of politics. Don’t quote me.
Meanwhile, Claire’s legacy has still not found its way to my bank account, over six weeks since I presented it. The Bank of America says it has been cashed, so either Barclays or the Metro Bank are sitting on it. Another beneficiary has received her legacy, but I think hers was with her bank about ten days before mine. I’ll be patient for a little longer…. [LATER: The Metro Bank must have been reading my blog: within hours, the amount was showing in my account. Long-promised transfers have now been made, so I’m hoping Claire’s kind gift will soon be put to good use.]
