After a wet and windy morning ride, I made a little lentil soup and then went to do my stint in the tourist information office. This week I had one visitor but she was very positive and said she was coming back to stay in the town for a longer holiday.
After that, the rest of the day was wasted sitting in front of the telly and watching golf from roughly 4.30 to 10 o’clock.
Mrs Tootlepedal is grieved because the high winds are harming her runner beans. The flowers are very good but they are being blown off without being fertilized and the result is no beans.
On the other hand, the broad beans are doing well. They developed before this windy period started. What with the damage to the runners and the sparrows eating all her pea plants, Mrs Tootlepedal is beginning to feel that gardening is too much sorrow.
I just look at the lawn and think thank goodness for the application of Buck-U-Uppo.
