Hoping to be in and out the same day, CT scan to...

Re: Early Summer Bits and Bobs.
Warm and sunny despite the Harr rolling in off the sea, got the big hedge clipped with hand shears so as not to disturb nesting birds too much, left the top for later. Grass cut too, it is almost looking summery out there.

Re: A mindful moment
The harbour along with many others on our coast have been taking some beatings from recent storms, a lot of boats are taken out of the water during the winter.

In the greenhouse everything is coming along ni...
