Garden glimpses

It's been a slow week for gardening and curation. We were supposed to be visiting Anglesey, but that fell through. Used the time to learn how to put slides on zoom, not too successfully as yet, but more or less ready for my talk to Big Dave and Joan's rotary group in Linlithgow. Cricket and textiles during the industrial revolution. Dave's choice. End-to-end stuff.

The cricketers are shaping up. Difficult to get them to pose properly. The garden is a bit overgrown just now, but the cosmos and robinia are good. And the wall has reappeared. Haven't seen the frogs for a week. Em keeps getting in the act.

So all that was 2-3 weeks ago. A whole load of weather a whole load of Boris later I'm not in the best of humours. The talk is done however - strange experience on zoom.

iime is Scarborough time and I can't be bothered to redo the caption in indesign.

Difficult to say anything constructive. Time for some rhubarb therapy - stay in the dark and expect some manure regularly.

Don’t let the covid in
It’s got some living to do
Can’t leave it up to it
It’s knocking on our door


Wise men have known all along

That one day this would come
Rules are there for reasons
Don’t let the covid in


Many moons we have lived
Our bodies weathered and worn
It’s not just our age that concerns
Our frailty makes it so hard

Some things may have changed
Sit tight when you’re called
Rules are still there for reasons
We must all get along


When he rides up on his horse
And you feel the cold winter chill
Look out your window and smile
Don’t let the covid in
