A blog for heart matters and natters.
I mowed the lawn for the first time this year. I had read to use a high setting on the mower so as not to shock the grass too much and to allow it to grow fuller before the next shorter cut.
There is always plenty of weeding to do. Each year one weed seems to gain prominence over all others. This year it seems to be Lords and Ladies - Arum macalutum and is a real nuisance.
Does anyone still make their own bread? We started making sourdough bread years ago, before Covid changed so many things. It seemed to get popular during lockdown etc but I don't know if people are still carrying on. It's fun to make and very satisfying. It's nice to be ale to make up different mixes, sometimes more wholemeal, sometimes more white, sometimes more spelt and so on. One local baker makes great bread but it contains milk which we never knew, at least home made only contains what we put in.
