I had forgotten that Mowsehowse.
And bulbs!
The Heritage Society in our little town planted hundreds of Crocus bulbs at the approach ,by the river which can be seen from a steep hill as you come off the motorway.
I had one of those circular cutters ,took a plug of soil out,bulbs dropped in,plug back,job done .
Others used a hoe to make a narrow slit.
Come Spring and no crocus where I had planted ,plenty elsewhere.
Then—— we saw the plugs of earth ,pulled up by gribbles no doubt !
Yes ,they are cheeky little thieves aren’t they.
Just come off the phone ,can you believe it ,from speaking with my friend who I was convinced (and so were her family ) was going to die.
Perfectly lucid, sounded frail ,but a good care package in place and her son there all the time.
No chance of seeing her ,but at least she knows I have been in touch with her family about her.
Well I did not go on tour with The Dubliners,slept right through.!
I laugh when I think how my OH disliked folk singing and Trad Jazz!
We had a record of Peter Sellers making fun of it, Well the boys did.
An Irish band, In a crowded pub, de diddle de diddley , etc .
Someone says to the fiddle player” You played a bum note there Pat“——-
Crash ,bang scream ,glass and glasses shattering ,tables and chairs thrown, - ,,ambulance and Police sirens etc.but the music never stopped.
You have to hear it really
Flash Harry’s Mummy is doing Bodyshop stuff,I might order some ,I send
money but like to give a modest gift too.
Where will we be at Christmas ?
Home probably!
Hope everyone is OK , I feel happy I have seen FH ,and his family and spoken with my friend.
Had a laugh with another friend ,lives on The Gower.
She sent a couple of photographs of her and her husband, her with Lionel
Blair who was being all “ lovey” and her husband who was furious LB
was so “ familiar “with my friend.Arms folded ,black looks and very menacing!
Fred Flintstone was surely modelled on him.
He bred our Lavender budgie .
Well must go, daughter phones tonight for a couple of hours ,FH’s Nanny.
Keep safe everyone .
Viktoria.
His face!
