    The benefit of saying that I'm 93 is that people say you don't look that age - and I don't.  B)

    I'm looking every day now for swallows but none yet. Thought I saw one the other day sitting on the electricity cables but it was a pied wagtail. Well, I hadn't got my specs on.

    Another RTBC would be that you managed to cut all the grass without it raining @Hostafan1 ;)

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    I've still got an hour or so to do.

    That's why they have so many of them ... like tadpoles ... otherwise we'd be swamped with mallards.  Magpies used to sit on the corner of the barn roof and swoop down and take the tail end duckling every time a mother duck marched them past on their way to the pond ... 😡

    Me too.  Normally just thinking about the mower is enough for the heavens to open.

    My mental picture is of a group of kind, talented people with boundless energy and beautiful (weed free) gardens. Please don't shatter my dreams, it gives me something to aspire to.
