    had a lovely time!!

    did some much needed digging and weeding and it was lovely to be there again in the sunshine with my flask of coffee and radio 4

    i spent ages planning in my head and have sorted a few dilemmas

    there was also a very cheeky mr blackbird who sang and sang for me and helped himself to a few worms

    a nice time

    thanks all - i had some really sad news yesterday, my lottie neighbour had a heart attack at his lottie, my neighbour the other side of me was there and tried to save him - cpr and all that

    she popped in to see me last night and we had a beer and a good cry - she was really shocked - i think she was amazing to do all she did to try and save him

    very very sad day
