Shent

Yes, blog has been moribund, but then, so have I. Too damned cold to do a damned thing and all I've managed for weeks is to dig stuff and shove in some garlic and onions. Spuds have been destroyed by slugs and frost has probably killed off what's left.

On the upside the halfashed is now temporarily roofed with a tarpaulin and some milk bottles filled with stagnant water from the elderly water butts. So now it's half shed, half tent. A shent, if you will.
