I am happy today to be receiving my quarterly gas & electric bill! The reason I am happy is that tecause of my frugality (rather put a jumper on than the heating) and receiving government subsidies has meant instead of having a bill, I am £142 in CREDIT! ......Yay.

I utilise the logburner which heats my 'chillout' room plus the kitchen and that's all I need! The doors to the rest of the house are shut off and my living area gets toasty!
I do have to buy some logs but I also scrounge timber whenever and wherever I can. I get the chainsaw out when I have enough to make it worthwhile.

I don't get colds and spend a lot of time outdoors. I only put the central heating on if I am having a shower.

Very impressed - congratulations!
And …. Roll on warmer weather.

I wonder whether I should give the government the £142 back!

Manure math and popping seedlings. I've been ever so good this year, only starting seeds in the cold (several panels missing levels of cold) greenhouse and they're starting to germinate.

Todays sunshine.

Pricking out seedlings in the warmth of a sunny GH. Doesn't a little bit of sunshine make life so much more agreeable. Some of the seedlings are DJ's purple/red sweet peas saved on 2020. They're thriving.

This makes me happy too   hopefully they turn out to be at least one of those colours....

I'm not worried what colour they are, sweetpeas are fine whatever colour.

Picked my first Courgette today.

BAH! Bijou to you
Pictures of the plant please just to make me jealous
