We had rain overnight, not frost and ice as expected when my friends Pat and Graham drove me back from the Pie Night at Beaumanor Hall [it was great!] last night.
Nothing has been done about the huge gaps in my hedge since the fence was built next door, although I was promised "a bush this week" when I went into the Post Office last Monday.
The two large fence panels against the trunk of the pollarded cherry tree were part of the barrier Pat and I put up last November to stop the big Alsatian dog coming through from next door.
I don't know why, but for the last week or so my ducks have been spending their afternoons in and around the frog pond, surely it's too early for frog spawn?
