2026 - What I did today.

Dug over 3 gh borders. Chopped down and dug out the roots of a deceased box bush, decimated last year by box moth. I gave it a chance to resprout but nothin' doin'. Cuddled a field spaniel twice, it might have been x3 but I ignored her the 3rd time as I was on my hands knees under the gh staging. She's rather demanding. She sees me in the garden then runs up to a gap in the hedge ready for me to get there (rather more slowly) and give her fuss. She has me well trained, and I like to accommodate her, but unfortunately every time she sees me she thinks a cuddle is on the cards, which can be every 10 minutes. All a bit time consuming.
