Given that tv is s’posed to make you look at least half a stone heavier … anyone want to have a whip round for a big slice of cake to go with Cliff’s strawberries and cream?

Wimbledon is definitely here. At least 2 rain stoppages so far, and it's only the first day.
Tell me Cliff wasn't there to " entertain "?
If he was, thankfully I didn't see him. Rod Stewart and Diana Ross singing badly at the Jubilee was enough for one year (or lifetime) thank you very much.
We had a massively overgrown crab apple in the garden. It was at least 20 feet across and probably almost the same height. It had been touched in the 30+ years we have been in the house. I contacted a tree surgeon who came round to look at it and confirmed my feelings that it needed a lot cut back and cut out to get it back under control. He came yesterday to do the work and I left him to it. My wife works from home currently and uses an upstairs room overlooking the garden. I got a panicked call from her saying he had cut the tree down, maybe I should have explained to her before the work that is was going to be drastic :-) Basically we now have a bare trunk and branches, as there was absolutely nothing other then mistletoe within the 'body' of the tree. It does look scary but it was my wife's panic which made me laugh. I've taken photos of it now and will take more on a monthly basis to show progress. What should be the sunny side of the garden is now sunny, and the clothes line doesn't tangle up in branches any more either.
I dug some of the first early spuds today. So with beans, Broad &French, plus some cabbage, Raspberries for pud, first meal of the season all my own produce. Now if only there was a trout stream at the Allotments!!😁

Hurrah for that saga being over.
