I so want to write something here - something lovely - but I think I’ll wait a while. I’ll tell you all soon. Promise.

Anyway, in spite of the showers I’ve been gardening a bit. I’ve cleared (sort of) the long thin bed outside the back door. I’m going to call it the Landing Strip. So now we have, a front lawn, a top lawn, a cherry orchard, a wild flower meadow and a landing strip. Pretentious or what!

Yesterday we had two of John’s former colleagues for lunch. And very tender they were too. No, seriously, they both worked with him years ago in the Civil Service. I first met them when we were on a treasure hunt. This couple started off on the Treasure Hunt, but never ended up at the destination pub. It was the beginning of an office romance. They now have adult children! I don’t know where the time goes.

John is well but these anti-biotics leave a constant metallic taste in his mouth. He hasn’t got his hospital appointment yet.

Oh well, the showers stopped us going for a cycle today, but it is sunny at the moment, so I think I’ll finish off the privet hedge. (Or is it box?)
