Best wishes for your mum OH and she can come and wield our hoover any day. Does she like ironing?

Dear All, thank you for all the kind wishes for my Mum, she will appreciate them when i tell her.

I can hardly believe this myself, but she is back home already.
She seems very bright and says the pain is a lot less, just a matter of trying to stop her overdoing it now.

She is a tough cooky. :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Skeins of geese loudly announcing their migration now, definitely autumn.
I am always happy to see their return in the spring. :)

Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

Hi NB,

I had a look around the plot this morning, and everything is standing up OK. I picked what looked like the last of the runners and climbing french, and have loads of borlotto beans to pick. The beans are on a ( hopefully ) permanent structure so it shouldn't blow away :D
Cheers PJ.

After a couple of marginally summery days it was fair siling it down at times yesterday afternoon. And more likely today :(
