CAW,   my mum loved country smells,  she would liked  to have lived in the country, I like country smells but  not to excessive

LM - there are country smells and country smells! We’ve lived here for 35+ yrs and have grown used to them but this year it’s been the worst ever…
 after a phone call to the local council it appears it’s a new company selling to farmers … it’s waste from a bio digester apparently and is being spread on combined wheat fields ready to be sewn with rapeseed oil.. after over a week it’s still lingering around.

A good way to remember a neighbour, it’s always interesting to hear about people’s early lives and interests sometimes gives a whole new perspective to a person. It sounds like it was an uplifting service.

Viktoria hope you enjoyed the visit from FH, demolition Kyra, grandson & wife, always a joy to enjoy young ones company.

Candleflame - your visit to the NT property sounds interesting, they do work hard to give lots of info… not visited a workhouse before.

We visited that Workhouse in Nottingham area, Candleflame - funnily enough, when down in that area for a family funeral a decade ago, approximately. It was fascinating then, we agreed. In dim distant family history found a man who was the keeper of a Workhouse - that always made me think he'd be grim and stern!

Exactly!
But probably better than we tend to guzzle, if more/any fresh veg  added?

Has anyone started a new week’s diary?
I can’t find any posts.
Hope all are well.
