Good morning, everyone including, hopefully, Mick, who I hope is soon sorted.
I have been to the garden centre for compost and had to apply severe restraints in the plant buying department. I only bought 3, ones that fit in with my vague mental design. I found the advantage of having silver hair is that young men want to push your trolley and load your car for you. These days, I let them!
Speaking of cars, I have had Ashcombe moments too. Once, driving home from work, I stopped at the local supermarket, parking on street. When I came out, I walked home, several hundred yards. On arrival, I immediately saw no car on the drive and for a split second, thought it had been stolen until the truth dawned! I had to walk back and retrieve it. I was only in my forties at the time too.
Congratulations to you and your family, Georgesgran, a relief to you all I'm sure.
Best wishes to all in recovery and the best possible day to all.
