What am I doing up? Woke at 5am after an early night. It's fine and dry here in South Manchester, and today I'm going to plant some window boxes with cheerful spring bedding. Can't wait for those longer days. I hope everyone in the south is starting to see the end of the terrible floods and damage along the coast and waterways. I dread switching the news on, for fear of hearing that it's happened yet again.
