Thing is when I see a ripe gooseberry I must have it, must. have. it! Totally right - next time I go it Weill be a quieter time and I think (poor baby) I will even leave Maggie at home - she draws too much attention. Best wishes with the strawberry runners. This the first year we aren't growing them...we've admitted to ourselves that we don't actually like them!

I have a couple of huge gooseberry bushes on my allotment and I got absolutely ripped to shreds harvesting them. The weather has been beautiful hasn't it. Back to cold again today here though. I'm going to brave the allotment tomorrow, I want to plant some strawberry runners. I need to dig them out of the garden first though. Hope the rest of your week is good Carrie. <br /><br />CJ xx Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376693003192814341.post-2670567471899539742014-03-14T18:11:32.499+00:002014-03-14T18:11:32.499+00:00A great big thank you Nicole!!!

I don't know if you see it, but I see lots of good changes in you. I know you will still have tough days, but you're fighting them more and winning more skirmishes, even it they're not the big battles. I've probably sent this to you before, but it's my favorite quote and I use it all the time when I'm struggling with something. It makes me smile:~) <br /><br />"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain." Vivian Greene<br /><br />I think you danced very well from the pictures you took of your house. I loved the clothesline.<br /><br />Poor Ms. Maggie. Then again, try grooming a cat:~) Mine is currently shedding. If she even SEES the brush, she's gone. So, I end up using my duster and picking up the clumps of hair, knowing I will do the same tomorrow and the next day and the next, until the winter coat is gone. At least with Maggie, you can bathe her and clip her:~) <br /><br />SaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376693003192814341.post-28612840451501983312014-03-14T18:04:08.880+00:002014-03-14T18:04:08.880+00:00ah, does Maggie hate to have her hair cut?
