DOVE. Just read your later post.... Terrible thing to loose a child. Were you related to the child/family ? Must have been terrible.
Not related - a family I'd worked with for a few years, very isolated mum whose family kept their distance as they didn't understand her son's disability and seemed to think it might be contagious or some form of divine retribution rather than what it actually was, an inherited genetic condition.
She had no one else to be with her and liaise with the medical staff etc - I used to work for Children' Services supporting families who had a child/children with severe learning and/or physical disabilities..
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Earlier I said it was a hot day, that was before the clouds arrived and cooled it down, but it's comfortable.
Got a shock this morning. Went out to take some photos, noticed a small zinnia had been dug up, Was going to replant it when I saw big black and yellow snake coiled up in the flower bed. It shot off before I could turn camera on. Think it may have been lying in wait for the mole who had dug up the zinnia! Looked it up - a Western Whip snake.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Wow Lizzie, what a sighting. Keep well away and the mole problem could be contained. Umm - I wonder what happens to the snakes when the food's dried up
People are gardening next door. They seem to have one tool and that's a strimmer. Apparently they wanted to move because of the large garden and I haven ' t seen them in months. Seen loads of the weeds though
I've been moving slabs near the manhole cover to try to level the ground. Hope to recover in a couple of days,. SYL
The people behind us are 'gardening' - giving the lawn its first cut of the year, I had to come in 'cos the sounds of blades striking flint was ear-shattering - I could actually smell that burning smell you get from sparking flints! Now they're strimming. It'll be quieter out there soon

Some people seem to be having a problem with PMs - I'm on a laptop and am not having a problem - think people on ipads and tablets are the ones finding difficulties. Someone has sent a message to Daniel but of course, it's the weekend ... Oh dear Verdun - hope you don't feel too isolated all the way down there in the southwest on your own
