Covid 19 and staying at home.

My distraction is a shallow plastic tray outside the kitchen door containing rainwater.

Wood pigeon. magpie, sparrow, bluetit.

For plant lovers, the front garden is a mass of yellow/green: Euphorbia robbiae.

Quite so.

Is the Stray being mowed or mown? I assume it'll be moan if not?

Hasn't the Stray been thoroughly dug over by mad cyclists?

The relevant bit has been rotavated and re-seeded. What happens now is in the lap of the gods and the pidgeons.

Re: Covid 19 and staying at home.

We were in Harrogate before Christmas at the market at the bottom of the Stray. I asked a stall holder what the strange snaking wall was that stretched part way across the Stray and was told that it had been built for the cycling competition, and that they were supposed to have dismantled it but had just cleared off and left it.

Ah, that one. I haven't taken much notice, lately. I'll drive past and have a look this weekend. The tension mounts!
