The sky is blue for once. The sun is
shining. I wonder if our gardener will be around today. We bumped into her in
the supermarket yesterday. She proudly showed off her 7 month old
grand-daughter, & said she would be around today or tomorrow, weather
permitting.
Our home help thought we would not be
needing the services of a gardener in winter. I couldn’t help pointing out with
a garden our size there is plenty to do all year round. Winter tends to be the
time for tidying up, pruning trees, etc. The only time our gardener doesn’t
come is in January when the green bins are not collected so there’s no point in
her filling the bins with rubbish.
I have to confess my spirits always go up
on a sunny day. Today is also my day off as the Fox is in charge of cooking
tonight. I don’t even have spuds to peel today. I have a morning of quiet
instead. The washing isn’t all dry yet so the ironing will wait. I can just
spend my time reading, doing jigsaws, playing games – a life of leisure.
