Weekends are good for this! And the enormous bag we got topsoil in for our raised beds is holding garden waste till collections start again. A lot of the garden needs shifting, away from the garden preferably. Compost doesn’t really need baddies. They need severe heat or a wormery ideally but it’s a time of uncertainty and we would rather get the baddies collected.

But there are others still to be chopped but it’s been a busy couple of hours and the weekly shop still hovers like a black cloud over us. Nine year old offered to take her teen to the supermarket but hmmm, that’s a no. We will negotiate our shopping in another way – she wanted to pay and I’m not sure her GoHenry will cover it!
