Yay for NF’s mum.
TFBSZ here, having dug in the other 2 veg beds in time for the topsoil arriving tomorrow. Took about a tonne of compost to half fill them.

It was sunny about forty-five minutes ago but since then a high haze has moved in, and it looks as if it'll turn cloudy and breezy shortly. Currently 9°C and reaching 15° briefly this afternoon, while the barometers are down a touch at 1016/1024mB
