Glorious day!

Get out of the house! It is lovely out there.

I have just dug up my first load of new potatoes and will be having some for
my dinner with crispy fesh lettuce and purple sprouting brocolli. Pudding
will be raspberries, the best strawberries on earth and red and black
currants. Earth to plate in two hours!

Down on the allotment today, with my lunch of Ful Medames I was eating salad
leaves and tiny beetroot, straight out of the ground with cider taken from
the flagon I keep in the water butt. Heaven!

The plants (and weeds) are going mad, the tadpoles have legs, there are bees
and hoverflies of all kinds and butterflies, painted ladies and cabbage
whites. Glorious day. I could live down there if they would let me.

I don't want to arrive at my grave in an attractive and well preserved body,
hopefully I will be skidding in
sideways, Gin and Tonic in one hand -- Cigar in the other screaming YAHAAAY!
