    Or they’ve discovered they’ve been underpaying you all this while ... maybe you’re entitled to back pay 😉

    RBC 2020...I lost my beautiful Mum last month and my RBC. We've been in our beautiful cottage in NW Staffordshire, with 2 acres for 6 years now.  I've planted in excess of 3000 plants, my contribution to this planet and this space in the  world. Our last project here is to relocate our scruffy hen/duck pen and construct a pond and waterfall (utube anypond.com). I want to plant a Wedding Cake Tree, in memory of Mum as it flowers in June ,her 83rd birthday. Also to lay the ashes of my beloved labrador Tula

    .  Onwards and upwards; have decided to relocate to the Dordagne and retire to create a new garden  xx
