crept up on me! Sitting in knee length unmown grass wasn’t my plan. But I’m listening to the happy twitters and whistles and feeling kind of blissful. There is much abundance in my unintentional nature reserve, until a neighbour killed the mood with a diy machine at full blast!

I spoke too soon! May Bank Holiday weekend is either Food Festival fun or have we got the bunk beds to install or lots of grinding and drilling to do at full blast! I had lovely chocolate churros for breakfast all those hours ago and I’ve filled the freezer with ice creams and ice lollies for the return of family from far flung places.

It’s the first really hot day of the year and I even pleased the dog by filling up his paddling pool which he doesn’t go into, just drinks from, but I might dangle my feet in for a bit.

Any gardeners free next week to disassemble No Mow May? I’ve got the ice creams in!
