Bright and breezy morning in the shire. Sunny but an easterly wind adding a bit of an edge. I’m hoping to nail the Pompeii tour today having got Marco from Milano involved. If need be Carolina from Sorrento is available to help. THG has already been out to water the greenhouse plants and I shall liberally drench the meadow en route to the shed a little later on when I’ve finished my cup of tea. You can’t rush a cup of tea yanow.
A busy night on the wildlife front though nowt around the lake for which Brian must be quite relieved after the previous night incident where the fox is suspected to have kicked him over. No proof. Just circumstantial evidence. All the action was at the Raised Beds where five separate hedgehog visits were recorded starting at eleven pm and ending shortly after four in the morning. I suspect he made the garden his hunting ground for most of the night. Three fox visits between five to seven when I was actually in the shed and one in the morning.
Today I am doing lunch with @Phil and @Keith. White Horse on Hungate. Not been in since it was the Tap and Spile. Will be easy enough to get there but will be tackling Spring Hill on the way back. I’ll probs take the route through Michaelgate to Castle Hill. Might even wander into the chateau for a gander. No rush, as long as I get the Pompeii stuff sorted before I go plus a few other bits.
Btw the grapefruit spoon is back in action with a vengeance. Great to have it back 🙂
