Travelling On

Have heard good reports about the Avalon stuff.

Oh no Karma, what a day. I do t feel like I've achieved much either. I really wanted an early night tonight and here we are... nearly midnight and I've not wound down yet.

Wish, my day ended well eventually - I hope yours did too, though thats a late finish for you by anyone's count

I've been out to the farm and its paths - some national pathways pass through the same farm, but we didn't find them It was a bit too hot, really, but we came across an **amazing** cabin, deep in some woods, built by/ for special needs adults - the designs and the woodwork were both amazing. I think it was Greenbee the other day who said "Totnes, twinned with Narnia"? Well, this was an outpost. Deeply, deeply magical.

**sighs with happiness, and contentment at getting a cup of coffee**

My morning has been totally waylaid by Ancestry, who have a free military info. weekend just starting - nothing military has turned up for this Agatha Christie-connected branch, but I'm going to have to go to the library for their membership, I think (membership is horrendously expensive, but you can sign in for free at my library). Supposedly there's a connection to a famous astrologer ... nope. The astrologer's born 30 years too late for our guy. Even Amazon can be of use to genealogists :rotfl:

Right, I *have* to get my act together. Off to see if I can plant something before the sun gets to the spot

Quite a bit more digging yesterday, but no planting, I was quite tired, still need a quiet day today. Though half an hour's digging will no doubt be included oh, and repotting the little bay plant, giving it a happy home

Looked at the Next sale, as arranged with my sister - it all went a bit blurry :rotfl: too many options :rotfl: I'll have to go to a shop and try stuff on before I buy online there

Hope the quiet day can be achieved :cool:. Online shopping has a similar effect on me - mind you so does in store shopping sometimes

Thanks teapot - yes, I've done nothing much, faffed about on Ancestry, spoken with my sister - Sun Holidays are back, she's wondering about Cornwall. I'm happy I've finally managed to get washing out on the line but it keeps trying to cloud over. Suits me, actually, I could do worse than pootle around the garden for a bit.

I read this as 'reporting the little bay plant' and wondered what it had done...!

I've been chatting to it, and it seems pretty happy so far :rotfl:

Thanks beanie I did 45 mins out in the garden, and reached a decision to dig up the ragweed I let get established. There's a very rare butterfly that only lives in this county, which I believe only eats ragweed - so a patch of garden about 6 feet long by 3 deep is full of ragweed and bramble and 3 foot tall grasses and cleavers and all sorts :eek: I'll never get the garden straight with that going on, it will *always* be on the verge of chaos. So I've started to dig it up. It's about 5 feet tall, so it doesn't take much to start to make a difference :eek: It feels the right thing to do, I can help the local wildlife, including the butterfly, in other ways.
