Friday 27th March

We came down for about eight thirty, had coffee and did some bits online, ant is a bit obsessed with the strike, as you would imagine. We decided to take the dogs a good long walk, so walked them down to Willeman and back. We had decided to work on the garden in the afternoon so went down to Hesdin, i had hoped to buy a little plastic green house so we could grow salad stuff but i could not find one. I got some petrol for the lawn mower then we had a little look at Aldi and found some mini garden tunnels, which we bought, then a look in Lidl found seeds and troughs and soil.
We had lunch when we got home then ant started clearing and digging over the veg patch whilst i mowed the lawn. I put together the tunnels, they were a bit flimsy but not to bed for a fiver, then put them in the veg patch, i then seeded the seeds and put the troughs under the tunnels. ant had done a good job on the veg patch but there is more to do. When it got to the point when he had had enough we stopped, i had put together a turkey stew for dinner which was cooking away in the slow cooker. Ant had a bit of a nap whilst i had a game of civilisation for a couple of hours. At seven i put the dinner together and we ate, ant had some wine and i had some morgans spiced and coke. I had downloaded some Roseanne episodes so we watched those and had an enoyable evening before heading to bed.
