Sunday, 22-03-26

Good morning, everyone.  How are you all this morning?  We had quite a frost this morning but the forecast is for dry weather so that's good.

The SW Buddies walk - well, gentle stroll anyway - yesterday was really good.  The sun shone, the daffodils were lovely and the swans are nesting on the little island again.  I wish I had taken my camera with me.

Once home, it was a chilled day, very restful.  Lindsey's bread is just warming after a cold ferment in the fridge overnight so I will get that finished as and when. 
And this morning the second OddBox was left on the doorstep.  I don't find that they are a saving in money but the quality seems very good indeed and it does provide an outlet for things that otherwise are unwanted.  For example, today's box had loads of small apples, the kind you get in bags for children's lunchboxes.  That size really suits me but I can see how they would be too small for most people.
I focused more of fruit this box - next time I will go more for veg.

I'm hoping to get a little bit of gardening done today - those weeds are fighting back again in the warmer, brighter weather.  Apart from that, it will be a nice, chilled day again.  After a good night's sleep, that feels just perfect.  

Happy Sunday, all.  Have a great day and stay safe and well.  xx

  1. Beautiful day here again, so much to do in the garden now as everything springing in to life. Sorry to read about your mishap with the car, these incidents do leave you feeling shaken, hope you ate OK now. Gardening is very calming, have a lovely day. x

    1. I guess it happens now and again, one way or another. I'm back to normal again now and thankful that damage was so minimal as to not matter. Thanks very much. xx

  2. I've been waiting for oddbox to start delivering in this area for about 5 years - they still don't!

    1. I guess it is 'can't', maybe. I've been waiting ages and was on their notification list. Annoyingly, someone down the road was getting them! I wonder if it is more delivery issues than actual supplies. xx

    1. I'm impressed. It isn't a frugal option but everything I have had so far has been great quality. I'm going to continue or a while anyway - see how it goes as the seasonal availability changes. xx

  6. I am so looking forward to seeing the garden come alive once again. I bought loads of seeds many of which are perennials for the center garden. Going to have to pull all the lilies as we are having problems with the Japanese Lily beetle. Can't seem to get it under control. So for the next while I will not have any lily plants in the garden. Need to get rid of the snow first.

    God bless.

    1. No snow certainly helps. What a shame about the lilies - they are so beautiful. xx

  7. You do get a good selection in the Oddboxes usually don't you, and plenty for your money.

    1. I think so, and there's a fair amount of choice if you go in the week before and change anything you don't want/need. There are options, for sure. And the quality has been excellent so far.
