So on the hottest day of the year so far, lovely and sunny, Severn Trent have had a great swathe of NG10 cut off since 2pm. Pubs and cafes have to shut, no loos, no hand washing. Trent Lock pub usually has a bumper day on sunny days, nice beer garden by the river has to shut. Originally said 6pm, then 8pm, still waiting.....
To be fair to Severn Trent, and that's not a phrase you will see me use often, they won't have cut the supply for fun. Assuming no notice given I would suspect a major leak somewhere. That's no help to the people affected.
Sedum is a big genus even before you add in the hybrids. A lot of them are now The Artist Formally Known as Sedum though which makes it complicated. The Sedum Society organises a free cuttings exchange every year so it's pretty easy to end up with hoarder levels of varieties that you really don't have space for but who can turn down free plants?
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I can't remember if I already said this so apologies if it's a repeat. My front grass patch is quite small and a pain to mow so I thought I'd try NMM, all I got was daisy, plantain and dandelion, so it's back to cutting this year. One day I may get round to really sorting out the front and would probably do away with that patch of grass altogether. BTW @B3 Chelsea is next week you'll know by the saturation coverage on the BBC, starting today. 😀
I remember watching a few years ago and a "celebrity" having waffled on for ages about how keen they were and how they loved gardening, (while l sat there thinking "You don't have a clue what you're looking at"), let slip that they employed a gardener. I've no problem with that, but don't try and pretend.

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

But they can spot a camera and/or microphone at 500 yards.
