With the weather absolutely wonderful this evening, you would have been right to bet on me being engaged elsewhere for much of it.
However, I did sneak to the Hill for a few minutes to pick sweet peas & a few FRENCH BEANS (triomphe de farcy & emperor of Russia).
I saw the dad of my young interviewer from the other day trawling barrows of muck from the skip down to the bottom to bring the plot up to scratch – Pete & Jane have just taken plot 2B behind returning allotmenteer Christine, & young A is their enthusiastic helper every other weekend.
I went down to say hello to them & to see the pond that John Badger at the bottom is installing – it just needs planting up now – so with all those frogs & toads feeling at home, at least Pete & Jane will have a head start against the slugs…
You "so" know how to press the envy button {giggle}. I really miss not having a pond in the garden (but we did find another toad in the brush pile on Saturday).
ReplyDeleteI guess that a pond is on the pl*n for Bag End, then...?
ReplyDeleteThat would be Ponds - plural! I have definite agreement from Himself for two locations, have not ruled out a third but will bide my time . . .
ReplyDeleteNice one! You'll be attracting lots of 'good guys' (along with the mozzies, but we won't dwell on that!)
