Willow platters

Tomorrow is Lavenham Farmers Market, I shall have these platters for sale and also the living willow chairs as well as plant supports,cloches,and birdfeeders. I have had Lilly from Germany staying for the last 3 weeks, a contact through Workaway. She was a huge help to me and we got lots of willow sorted, lavender bags made and she even made lovely cushions for the kitchen.
No progress on the gardening front it is still so cold and wet.The birds have started nesting , Chris is regularly filling the bird feeders very little progress on the farming front either surely we must get some warm dry weather soon. The last few workshops have been a success we managed to weave in the summerhouse without whipping each other too much. with the wood burner to keep us warm.
