what a weekend

Well this has all become back to front now timewise but I need to do a bit of catching up. Had friday off to go to what turned out to be a very interesting inland revenue course. Learned lots about being self employed and it seems much easier than I thought it might be. Very encouraging anyway. Except the woman who taught it seemed to treat my idea like a cottac=ge industry where she thought I could only sell thru craft fayres. Infact I intend to make lots of money and give up my boring job in sales! Anyway it was helpful.
Saturday we put up rest of fence. Dogs finally got to run in the garden. They were really into it. Sunday visited parents, general familly stuff. Monday lovely weather and we sat in the garden and planted beetroot, spring onions, radishes, spuds, runner beans and all sorts of flowers. Also finally mowed front garden ( have yet to do the back!) and planted flowers in a bed in the middle. The bed was originally a hole which was proably meant to be a pond since the last owner of our house seems to have built ponds all over the place. Anyway filled in with compost and planted with flowers which I started off in seed trays in january. Feeling quite pleased with myself right now. Also my broad beans are much bigger than the ones on sale at the local nursery! Very good bank holiday. Cant wait for the next one.
