We finished the leaf clearing at last this morning. Bin no. 1 overflowing into 3 bags full on top of Bin 2 (last year's). Hopefully lots of lovely leaf mould later in the year.
The order I've been waiting for since 29th November has finally arrived! (It's amazing what a one-star Trustpilot review can achieve.) The postman delivered it, and at the same time gave me a letter from An Post demanding I pay €6.48 customs and handling otherwise they'll return my package to the sender. They might have a job there, since I've already unwrapped it and given it to the intended recipient (it was a Christmas present)...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
It's looking like our new very expensive tree, is very dry and brittle. (Cyprus conifer). The gardener that was going to help plant it recons it's suffering, and I need to complain to the nursery. 😡
