Wildness and Wet

This just about describes the state of my garden at present with acknowledgements to  Gerard Manley Hopkins’s most famous poem. It’s cold, wet and windy today so not conducive to gardening. Where oh where are the long hot summer days we are promised? I might then still not feel like gardening but can be coaxed into it by leaving a cold lager in the garage fridge and gradually working my way to it from the end of the garden, picking up weeds and tidying up as I go (it can take the whole afternoon if there’s more than one lager).
