Tardis-like, my modest shed had somehow accommodated a massive jumble of ‘stuff’, much of it dirty from muddy winter days when tidy cleaning up was secondary to getting home to the Aga. But yesterday, the time had come!

Here it is in all its new clean and orderly glory. For contrast, I should have taken a picture of all the contents spread outside, but I was in the grip of that spring cleaning frenzy that sweeps all before it! Quite a lot of old plastic pots are now in the recycling dump, along with the remains of several broken fork heads and two decayed baskets.

No sign of cosy overwintering mice or wasps holding hands like we found during last year’s spring clean. Raining today, so I’m very glad this was all done yesterday in the sunshine.
