With the weather getting warmer, its about time Mr Crofter got on with his planting of seeds and the like. So, after a fine evening last night, the seeds were extracted from the files, the fibre pots located and filled with dirt stuff.

It's a lovely time of year, enhanced by the warm sun streaming through the window, when all is possible. I have a similar notion with loading film into a camera - you never know when you might snap a masterpiece and trap a bit of history onto the emulsion.

Anyway, Mr Crofter, still the only Englishman on the North Tolsta Grazing committee, planted cabbages by the gazillion, peas and beans and popped them into the poly-tunnel with an air of positive expectation for the summer ahead.
