It’s rather sad, whichever way you regard it.

I have no problem with people living a nomadic life but the trouble is that a lot of them are thieves and they leave a filthy mess behind them. And don’t pay councul taxes etc.

Soil still quite damp, and teeming with worms, dug the area with a fork instead of a spade and covered them back over. Think I spend too much time with Mickyp

Evening clickers, a lovely warm day and mother nature put on a display-

Evening Tony, a display only she can put on to perfection.
It’s been glorious here too, I’ve been in the garden most of the day. 
-
Gorgeous Tony. I am very sad that we have none on the lawn
-
Oh dear, I take it the OH doesn’t like anything in his grass? He’d hate ours which is mostly daisies and clover – but the bees love the clover.
-
There just have never been any Karen, I don’t think he minds them.

Oh Tony … that is just lovely

Gorgeous Tony
I love the simplicity of the daisy

Is this the site you just mentioned Tony?
What a beautiful spot Tony, is this what the NHS is trying to sell?
Looks like it has been used for quite a few years.
yes it is

It seemed beneficial to health and the NHS bank balance used as it was in the 50sTony
