77 Days to Go...

Well we have had a day of sorting out after spending a very pleasant evening last night with Aunty Janet and Alan. Nice food and nice company and we organised to stay over should we become bedless which will be a bit strange as Jill will be sleeping just up the road from her childhood home (Cottons Lane).

More stuff has gone from the Garden. Our neighbours have become grateful recipients and are planning to take on the allotment at Trevor's field now we have vacated. Jill will be a hard act to follow as for the last couple of years we have enjoyed an abundance of fresh vegetables - some of which I have never tasted before and have come to enjoy - Jerusalem Artichokes were a revelation. There will be some disappointed people at the Royal Standard this year as all our excess found its way down there when we visited on a Sunday for Crib and the Meat Draw.  We plan to have a go at growing our own in Droushia despite Jill's Dad's reservations - we will have to see if it turns out to be a waste of time - but it is cooler there so we live in hope!!
