Today’s flower is a marigold With Dropscone off to the doctor again, I was on my own for the morning run. I went round the usual route in the usual direction but at an unusually slow speed as I felt a little tired. After lunch Mrs Tootlepedal and I went to Carlisle, she to completeContinue reading “Worm Excitement”

Separate Journeys
Today’s flower is feverfew In the absence of Dropscone, my pedalling partner, on domestic duties, I changed my normal morning route and went over Callister Hill, past Gair Schoolhouse and down to Gretna before returning via Glenzier, a round trip of 34 miles. In marked contrast to yesterday’s ride, the wind managed to be againstContinue reading “Separate Journeys”

A visiting expert from Moffat brought a wormery and a raft of information, a neighbour brought his shredder and we had several different compost bins and aContinue reading “Compost Day”
Various tasks completed
After a morning spent writing, printing, laminating and distributing posters for our garden compost day on Saturday, I was able to pop out for a nice ride across the Langholm Moor to Newcastleton and then down to Canonbie and back up the old A7 (27 miles). Tonight I will make my usual expedition to theContinue reading “Various tasks completed”
