| Eden a powerful river |
Lazonby bridge battles against the flow.
 |
| As the water level rises the arches of the bridge disappear |
The swollen river has burst it banks.
 |
| Almost ready to flood |
Some fields are flooded.
 |
| Water, water everywhere |
On Monday I spent the day on my new allotment. You will be able to see from the pictures that there is plenty to keep me occupied.
 |
| To dig, dig, dig |
A lot of the plot is flooded as there has been carpet liner and underlay laid down and the grass and weeds have grown thorough it.
 |
| I have brought two chairs for relaxation! |
 |
| Nasturtiums still in bloom in November |
I have planted up two old wheelbarrows.
 |
| Two wheelbarrows planted with daffodils |
I have started to clear one section.
 |
| One small step |
I have a lovely shed which I had to clear.
 |
| Lots to explore |
I found the remains of a bird's next.
 |
| A bird's nest in the rafters |
I really enjoy being out in the fresh air and close to nature.
 |
| The compost bin |
My side border.
 |
| An apple tree |
A squawk of crows suddenly appeared in the sky.
 |
| Crows dipping and diving |
On Sunday I made candid peel for my cakes and puddings.
 |
| Orange and lemon peel |
On Tuesday I made my Christmas cakes and puddings. I has all the kitchen windows open to get rid of the steam as you have to steam the large pudding for 6 hours.
A homemade Christmas cake.
 |
| Straight from the oven |
A homemade Christmas pudding.
 |
| Scrumptious |
Two lovely old tins with illustrations from a time gone by.
 |
| An old biscuit tin |
 |
| Spacemen. I wonder if modern astronauts would recognise them |
