After a trip away and managing to string out my birthday for 3 days back to normal now. Scrabble has changed to Wednesday afternoons for this month so that makes it easier. Can now revise and relax for strenuous, as far as brain is concerned, bridge session on Tuesday evenings. N has started "school", he goes for French lessons all day Thursday and Friday mornings. The weather is very autumnal but no rain for a long time. Some crisp mornings and beautiful blue skies and sunshine. Occasionally some mist in the mornings and just the odd dull day. Most of the maize has been harvested so the landscape has changed considerably. Now, when I go out with the dogs I can see far into the distance, before it was like walking through a tunnel of maize. Yesterday Nigel went over, with the wheelbarrow, to collect some horse manure from our neighbour Alain. Wheelbarrow was dispensed with as Alain kindly brought over 3 loads of manure in the link box of his tractor. We gave him a beer, had a chat and he then pruned the vines for us! On leaving he said if we ever need any help to give him a shout as he is usually at home. What a nice neighbour. So good to have a muck heap again! After having horses and or other animals over the last 30 years or so it felt strange not to have any manure for the garden.
