Its all go well almost

Blimey I think we had at least what ten minutes rain this evening, got to write that down.

Been an odd day really I had to open my wallet and buy some more kit for work should be able to do a few more jobs now in peoples gardens.

Then there is little brother, Robin the wanderer, he is now in Scotland ready to start his 1000 mile cycle ride tomorrow morning. Been hard to get the local press to pick this up but there are a couple of Marie Curie ladies in Scotland who have been pushing hard, got him some warm showers some nights and evening meals. We will see how it goes. Robin had his picture taken today, thats it at the top, with a local patron of Marie Curie in Scotland Dame Barbara Kelly. So there is no backing out now for him especially as the sponsorship money is slowly going up. Have you sponsored him yet????

Such is life

So I dont know about anyone else but we could use some rain desperately, I am not on about short heavy storms, nice long gentle rain to soak in to the ground for hours on end.

If we dont get some soom I think the garden centres will be doing a good trade in the Autumn as folk try and replant whats died and that is a lot from what I have seen while working in folks gardens for a living.

Went to a day centre for the elderly earlier this week speaking to them about their recollections of Cambridge, very interesting information gathered and some interesting themes touched on. Cambridge Storytellers are aiming to put a performance together about what we get that we can use later in the year.

Been recording wildlife species again as I go round doing my gardens, good selection of bumblebees still going strong and then its interesting to see what common birds turn up, the reason being a lot of people dont bother to record those and record centres need information about the common birds as well as the more rare ones. Same goes for butterflies and amphibians of course.
