With the thought of friends calling, the house is gradually getting presentable.. although there are still stacks of boxes to be dealt with they no longer dominate the living room!!
Today's promised visit didn't materialise, but that gave me more time to work slowly on a new block...
First test prints done and it looks fine.
Computer wrangling to be done tomorrow to sort out the printing on the back
I have started seed sowing at last...three rows of beetroot in the square bed that has the frame for the peas.... although I might grow small squashes there as it isn't really tall enough for six foot tall peas!!
I've put one sort of beans, and peas to chit...one way of quicker germination and checking if they are viable....saves time and potting compost!
After a day spent sitting I went for a walk around the village at the end of the afternoon..just 3km and 35 minutes...not the quickest, with two short sharp hills..but I. Am Not Fit.....again. The wind was chilly and sharp so I wrapped up well....down in the village is 2⁰ warmer....and it was noticeable when I reached a sheltered stretch and felt a tad overdressed!
The wind has risen again and after a clear day we are forecast a cold, possibly freezing night.

I LOVE that print!!! Your trees are always majestic, and I’ve enjoyed your photos of alleyways and doors and lanes— this seems to bring them together.
❤️❤️❤️
Is it going to be a card? I want to pre-order one!
Yes it will be a card!
The block looks wonderful. Well done on the test print -- these are going to be terrific. I love what you're doing here.
Spring has been interrupted here too but I'm looking forward to a few days in the low 80's next week!
I love how the archway frames the dark towers and tree. The birds in the sky complete it!
very pretty lino print :)
The block is beautiful and yet another string to your bow GZ.
The block turned out great! We got chilly overnight here too, despite a fairly warm day.
Your new block prints are lovely.
It must be good going through the boxes, it's probablly a good opportunity to get rid of stuff you don't need anymore. Daylight savings just finished here this morning.
Sorry that your visitors didn't materialise, but at least you get to enjoy the fruits of your labours.
What a nice print! And doesn't it seem as if spring is being especially coy this year. We have another stretch of cold and snow coming up.
