We have a half hour or so ride before breakfast..so that it is well earned!
You can see the sheds..now all the same colour to match the kiln shed on the right. Far easier that way as it is coated metal!
The workshop doors started to get a refresh today..just top coat tomorrow, then the back fence and I will have had enough of painting to last me a long time...until my workshop gets its verandah of course!!
My little fig tree is still growing.. luckily it was in the kitchen while we were in New Zealand. Now it is outside, but I will get it back in if frost threatens. I had thought a year ago that it was just a dead stick as the growth that was to the left at the base was dead. Tragedy as the original cutting came as a gift from our late friend in Abergavenny, as did the present of a rug which you can see.
Hopefully there will be time for gardening tomorrow..it is set to be fine if going back a little colder.
The leeks and beans have germinated..at last..time to get a lot more seeds in and seedlings pricked out.. thinking of food!
And thinking of food I have a shopping list...or is that a wish list?!...for first thing tomorrow morning, when we head for the Pensioneers Shopping Hour and the Trolley Minuet!!

I thought of you yesterday when I went for a real, hard bike ride---I felt soooo much better emotionally afterward. (Physically too.)
I always feel better getting outside, even if I just sit in the yard (and more so if I walk)---but hadn't had a HARD bike ride since last fall---what a great reminder!
Has a nice long burn too...
The little fig tree looks strapping :) I used to work for someone who had a fig against wall, it even managed to produce fig or two. A very attractive wall shrub, lovely to see your sketches :D
The newly painted sheds look good.
I didn't know you could grow figs from cuttings :-o
((o))
Fig trees are wonderful. Thanks to our son, we have two. I'm glad you could work on your art. I'm sure it's good to get the other sort of work done, too.
I like how you have "Pensioners Shopping Hour" as opposed to our "Senior" or "Elderly" grocery hours (I'm not quite old enough, yet!).
Digging the sketches. We're lucky enough to live in a fig-friendly climate. My brother has a mature fig tree in his yard and I have been the lucky recipient of many-a fig haul.
