  • Pot up strawberry runners
    Pick a few Tigerella for seed saving
    Speak encouragingly to the courgette babies - at last I have a few!
    Clear dwarf French beans to make way for some Broccoli Raab
    All at once I hear your voice
    And time just slips away

                  • It's going to be lovely weather tomorrow, but I have to head in to town to see my bank. I need to provide evidence for my settled status application which was rejected after 21 years here (don't get me started) so I need the bank to print me off bank statements as old as from 2013.

                    I am hoping to get up to the allotment and if I can, finish off the frames for the two doors on the polytunnel, and eventually get the plastic on!

                    I may get distracted if I get a particular phone call though, as there may be a new addition to the household - more info to follow
