Morning All!

[FredPuli43]

Bit early this morning. Still windy and warm outside; it must be the intense heat that's got me up! Got a gardener coming at 10 am,to "see what needs to be done" (his words). Should be fine if he brings a plough to level what passes for a lawn but currently resembles a battlefield of the Great War and a chainsaw to cut down the..er... weeds (sycamores, mostly) . What's the current rate for a gardener in the South East and East Anglia? I think my late mother paid about two quid a week plus an extra bowl of gruel at Christmas, but that was the last time the place saw a gardener. I just hired blokes with heavy machinery when I moved in, so I could find the house. I knew it was in there somewhere; it was on the Ordnance Survey map.

Ah well. Have a happy day all !
