A Grey Day

Back home, greeted by a dull and cold day.

I've a lot of plants to put in, but the soil is still rock hard in spite of it raining while we were away. I had a go at digging holes with my trusty mattock, but it was hard work.

So I gave up and went down to the Abbey in search of a picture. The stone is a lovely warm pinky gold on a bright day, but today it looked as if all the colour had been sucked out of it.

I'm trying to resist lighting the stove.
