Going Wild in the Garden....

I've got no lawn,don't need a mower
I'm not "old-school" like Percy Thrower
I've got no hoe or noisy blower
I'm not a rose or hosta grower
I only trim when limbs get lower
I'm not a garden-centre goer
The birds have been my wild-seeds-sower
My gardening pace is so much s-l-o-w-e-r
I've let it all grow WILDddddddd

Careful what you wish for..... In 1980 I was half way through what turned out to be some three years working on a project at the MVE Chobham...to which I 'd ride every day on a small motorbike leaving at 7 am and getting home around 7 pm plus a half day Saturday mornings.Sundays were the day when a long overdue sleep was anticipated but never materialised. I'd rode the bike there and back,whatever the weather and clocked up some fourty miles a day. As spring approached this particular year I'd flippantly said to the Wife  "wouldn't it be great if we could have the whole summer off and just sit in the garden!?".....she laughed in reply.

Just as now I had

School and viruses....... If we'd have had this Coronavirus outbreak when we were at School,I suspect we'd have all been wiped out within a week! If cleanliness and hand-washing is the key to survival then we'd have all been doomed and social distancing was unheard of. We'd often share a bottle of Tizer and a bag of crisps and if you missed out on a crisp you'd definitely get some when it was your turn for a swig out of the bottle! Not many people had running hot water and we'd have a bath once a week and if you were last in the bath you'd come out grubbier than when you went in and washing in between wasn't high on our list of priorities,nor was changing our clothes. We used to hope that if the Nurse was doing a feet inspection it'd be on a Monday as we'd be slightly cleaner than if it happened on a Friday. Most of us had pretty permanent coughs and colds and tissues didn't exist,or if they did,none of us at school had ever seen one a
