    Good for you telling Mr SA he broke it so he needs to fix it. Do check he's done it properly before using though!
    Wasn't Rod's set good. No excuse for the rest of us if Rod is 80 and Lulu is 76!

    I enjoyed Rod Stewart and guests too.  I'd much rather watch it at home than try to find my tent in the dark and queue for the loos.

    Forgot to add - in gardening news I have my first two blueberries. I won’t eat them all at once 😆
    How old is your blueberry bush? I bought one last autumn & it says 2-3 years before it fruits. I wonder if it needs a bigger pot already though.

    Caught up with your diary just three hundred others to catch up on 😀How nice to be able to meet your Scottish colleague, I hope you had fun. Dont you go eating all those blue berries at once 😀I had a blue berry bush when I got my first lot of chickens and I forgot to cover it up one day while they were out in the garden and they stripped it bare in about ten minutes 😩they even ate the leaves and it died shortly after

    I bought it last year, it's in a really big pot. I've had one before and it produced a lot of fruit eventually.
