March has arrived and with it meteorological spring has begun. We picked up some grow bags and seeds at Aldi at the weekend, but will have to wait until we stop having frost to plant anything. That could be as early as April, or as late as May… the gardening websites can’t seem to agree!

February round up

Malory Towers on TV: Series three round up

Often considered one of the weaker books in the series, we have now reached The Secret of Moon Castle. I actually rather like this one, though I’m finding my opinions are definitely changing as I reread various Blytons with Brodie. We have just reached the first TWANG DONGS, so I’ll see soon if it is as good a book as I remember.
