COVID 19 injection that is…. Who would have predicted three years ago that the early years of the 2000’s we would have a series of injections, and lockdown the Country – bizarre. Joan was scheduled for an injection on Monday […]
The last rose of Summer.
Well, not quite, but the recent rain has certainly spurred on the plants which are desperate to set seed prior to the real seasonal change. A sudden full flush if you will.
