TOO BUSY TO BLOG

I have just realised that it is over a week since Ilast blogged and the reason is I have been too busy .I never really believed those people who used to tell me that once you have retired you will be as busy as if you were still working.Well they were telling the truth.Every day that comes we seem to have a whole list of things to do,not nasty work things but nice retired type things if you know what I mean.So what have we been doing this last week.Well the allotment is taking a lot of our time,but I am pleased to report that we had our first plantings today when 40 strawberry plants went in.Tomorrow will see some fruit bushes cabbages and loads of potatoes,accompanied by soggy newspaper and the finest of organic muck.
Running a close second to the allotment is golf,which is coming along nicely.Besides playing a couple of rounds at Swaffham we have been up to Denver to hit some balls as well as playing a round up there.Today Lyn and I walked round 9 at holes at Swaffham in the late afternoon.Hardly anyone was around the weather was glorious and there were plenty of pheasants strutting their stuff.Tomorrow we will be going over to Methwold for their Easter car boot and auction.Bellringing was fine on Thursday night and the next session will be our last until the end of summer.Bowls starts soon,but we are undecided about taking that up as we have so much else going on.Had a nice dinner party last Wednesday,did stuffed mushrooms(JAMIE)followed by a fish pie (NIGEL SLATER)followed by lemon tart(RAMSAY)followed by cheese and biscuits(ARMAN).So that it for this week will keep you up to speed on the allotment as I am sure you are all besides yourselves in anticipation as to how things are going to grow.
Finally I no longer look as though Lyn has socked me in the mouth as all bruising has gone.
