Ground drying up a bit.

At last. I have been able to get into the garden. There has been tree trimmings to take to the bonfire. Logs and branches to take to the saw bench and log splitting .area. I did have a brief session with the heavy hoe. but the ground is still too wet for that job. I recently purchased a  petrol Yamaha quad, and a small trailer. What a good investment!  Much better than the wheelbarrow. The ground is still too waterlogged in places for the small Iseki tractor.

Yesterday (Thursday) Joan and I caught the X38 double decker bus to Plymouth. We went to the Plymouth Theatre at 2.30 pm, to see The Lion King. What a marvellous , spectacular show! We loved it! There were many children, with Parents, and Grandparents. A lovely family show, but very moving for all ages. When the curtain rises, all the animals come on to the stage by walking down the isles, both sides of the theatre, up the steps and on to the setting. It really is impressive, and we found this scene and the African singing to be very moving indeed. I don't know why it brings tears to the eyes - but it does. We enjoyed the whole show, and would recommend it to everyone,as a show not to be missed!
