This time I forgot the middle one
But remembered morning and evening…
Seems bizarre to me…
As Germany and Paraguay go to penalties to decide their World Cup match, it strikes me as very odd that commentators bang on about their history in penalty deciders. How, for example, would the result of a shoot-out sixteen years … Continue reading

No dig diary, 29th June 2026
Managed to do some seed-sowing today for the first time in more than a week, thanks to the cooler weather. On the list today were beetroot, peas, spring onions, coriander, radish and swede. I also potted up a couple of … Continue reading

Back to the vineyard
I needed to go back today. The owner wanted to be able to mow between the rows and was, err, struggling a bit? When I got there I could see why. I should really have been back a while ago … Continue reading

I think venison needs to go on the menu
For the second time this year, deer have been in, munching on the tops of my beetroot and my sugar snap peas 🙁 So frustrating. Between the blackbirds, deer, rabbits, squirrels, butterflies, pigeons and pheasants it feels like you can’t … Continue reading
Did I forget to take the drugs this morning?
Not sure why these are so similar. Morning, mid-afternoon and evening.
