    Stevie: fear not the butchers are used to me! I usually ask for the squeak and they know to get all the good bits.

    As for frost: fear not it was our international correspondence! There's not MUCH of a risk of it around here.

    Just came across this article on t'internet, and it summed up "what gardening means" so beautifully (particularly with all the horrors of the current year) that I thought I would share.

    Magnum, 2 boxes £5. Bargain.

    Just had a nice walk round the garden/ lake. Don't do it often enough. 

    Bit of lunch then off to plant more stuff.

    What's the point in having a lake if you don't walk round it? Silly Hosta. image

    I ride round it when cutting the grass, but nice to take time and have a proper look at it.

    All the leftover dregs of water lillies which I lobbed into it are in flower.

    Thanks Chicky.

    Love that article, but hen, I suppose I am a fan, of both the man, and his writing.
