If it's in the shade, or not more than about 20 degrees, I can manage that @floralies It all adds up though @Lizzie27, so any walking is beneficial, especially uphill. I'm hoping to get out on a hill soon.The schools go back in a couple of weeks, so I'm hoping things will be quieter. I dread the thought of everywhere hoaching with idiots.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Well it isn't raining today, which is great, but I have a cold which isn't. Mole is very active, which is a pain, but at least I am collecting the mole hills for potting compost.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Have a hot toddy @punkdoc. Good excuse to indulge.
Moles are busy here too but a minor pain given all the other stuff and I have been training OH to gather the soil rather than spread it so I can mix it with bought compost for potting on. The blighters need to learn not to leave bindweed roots in it tho.

OH's garden in Norfolk has an uneven lawn because of years of people gathering mole hill earth. He read an article about washing the earth back down the holes using a garden hose so he tried it and it worked. I don't understand how the earth that moles dig up can be any better than the garden earth, it's the same - just broken down so it's finer, but it won't always stay like that.
The septic tank inspection man came and the buyers came to watch him inspecting.
I now have another nice white tooth, well, pale yellow to match the other elderly teeth. Son has removed old filling and fitted a partial crown, he prepared it last week.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I agree abou mole hill soil @Busy-Lizzie but what I have in beds that are working needs to stay there and in the beds that aren't working it's like rock at the mo so I'm taking the path of least resistance and only because I have yet to find a compost like John Innes no 3 here.

Good morning all 🌞 😎 ☕️ It’s gorgeous out there ... sun sun sun ... and OH cut and edged the grass yesterday in preparation for @WonkyWomble’s visit tomorrow (his idea), and I got the worst of the weeds out of the veg patch and did some deadheading. It’s looking relatively smart-ish 😉
