    We had drizzle this morning. I still cycled for half an hour. Still 4c outside, but felt colder in the wind over the day. Can’t wait to get the warmer temperatures. I need to separate the chillies into single pots. Will be grey with sunshine and eventually rain now and then over the coming days.

    I noticed that M&S does this. A jacket size 18 and higher costs £20 more. Have 8 and would expect to pay £40 less than a 20 :)

    Plant labels

    I also use the coloured labels as no need to write on them if you make a note of which colour applies to which plant. NB don't lose your notebook :biggrin:
