Things that he needed to do rather than me.<br /><br />Prior to the lock down he had agreed that I could get a gardener in to help with those things ;-)<br /><br />The garden is beginning to look nice again but I need to source just the right kind of additional colour for the garden.CherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-28482710698186655252020-04-11T21:07:34.519+01:002020-04-11T21:07:34.519+01:00@Michael: I only say the 1963 version and can'...@Michael: I only say the 1963 version and can't remember legover, besides it was a bit too early in British cinema.Sackersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284329249862764601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-18948782079950821842020-04-11T20:39:57.362+01:002020-04-11T20:39:57.362+01:00Wiggia, I had to ring my local Garden Centre, just...Wiggia, I had to ring my local Garden Centre, just to see if I could have a few scrapings from their own dumping ground, and a gorgeous favourite lady rang back to take an order for delivery this week!<br /><br />While I am still in rapture at talking to such a fabulous woman, I'll also get four bags of John Innes delivered to my gate this week!<br /><br />Sometimes, life just ticks more boxes than it can handle, and that goes for the ladies at my favourite GC!<br /><br />(Just as an aside, I used to know a relative of the John Innes family. He's nearly past it now - maybe is, but I learnt that his wife died only recently - she would ride her horse to collect her newspaper on some days. Gorgeous lady, and now sadly missed...)Scrobs.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12942449871600526680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-49514905701207342052020-04-11T20:30:36.095+01:002020-04-11T20:30:36.095+01:00Sackers, that was wonderful!
