What's your weather like 2026
After a cool-ish start, it's turned into a nice day - still, mild, sunshine (a bit hazy).

Ideas for what herbs and veg I can grow in raised beds in shade
Alpine strawberries do really well in partial shade, they actually prefer it to full sun. Gooseberries are worth a go too, they're one of the few fruit bushes that genuinely don't mind a shadier spot.

Those windows would make a brilliant cold frame, honestly probably more useful than as bed sides. For the raised bed itself, about 30cm deep is plenty for most veg. You could get some lettuce, radish and spring onions going now and they'll be fine under fleece if it's still chilly where you are.

Today I moved the majority of my plants from 5.5 cm pots into 1 litre pots where they are supposed to stay till planting out. Will start bringing them into the greenhouse for a daytime. Hopefully from midApril they can stay there overnight. Going to be a very cold night here too today.

Not a heron - we have loads of them here on the Thames. They are much more angular birds, standing around waiting for fish and looking elegantly gawky. This rounder softer looking bird is some kind of a wader - maybe a greenshank or godwit as @Selleri says. Or a dunlin, or a sandpiper?

Mushroom compost
Yeah not sure why its alkaline, I assume they have added lime as most composted material, I always thought, ended up on the acid side.

I'd be very careful of the vinca as @CarolineL says. Whilst the v major is the worst, the v minor will also spread rapidly. Are you keeping all of the lawn shown in your photo ? If so, there isn't a lot of space left for plants. Either way, violets, ferns, spring bulbs may be worth considering.
