R's rue

My last shift today, no 6 out of 9...I needed that bucket of coffee this morning  I think, like many people I know, foreign travel will not really feature in my plans this year.

On days like this the colours of the world  are stunning. Yesterday I dug over half of our vegetable plot taking trouble to pull out any weeds. There has been little rain of late so the texture  of  the soil was more...
