My humble little blog does get around. I can view where it is opened, and I see a place that took me by surprise. I was born in an African country and someone there is reading? I have no connections to China however…

On being told there was a business call pending (and he was sans gloves) I sent him off after pulling out the larger cutting so I became safe again. The tree is visible once more! However the brown bin is still over full and collection starts on Thursday. It’s only Tuesday and I have filled the bag we got a tonne (?) of topsoil in…
