A drizzly day, so we left the tarpaulins up, and decided to plant out our winter crop seedlings. We had planted a tub of turnips and of kale, and they were ready to move into the ground. Dave had cleared the old potato patch a few weeks ago, and spread a straw mulch from the floor scrapings after the west wall was baled.
Mum and I had done some wood chip mulch-making while she was here, so we hauled the pile of wood chips down the garden, spread them on the straw, cleared a couple of rows, and planted the seedlings, in between downpours.
Recently, we were rootling through the trailer to find something or other and discovered Dave's fly fishing rod had been snapped by rough handling in storage. It was something of a blow, as Dave hasn't had many opportunities to use his fly rod, but he liked to feel it was there if he wanted it. So we got him a new one (only fair, after my extravagant camera purchase). It arrived yesterday, and the rain gave Dave the opportunity to get it set up, and see how it handled ...

He seemed pretty pleased with it
