Bee

It's amazing how well the garden has withstood all the work. The guys have been careful but there has been a lot of disruption. Mind you none of the plants is delicate or rare - they're all pretty tough. The bees which we disturbed at the beginning of the project have settled nicely.

The best of it is that for the first time in ages I've been able to hang the washing out. I've spared you a picture of this but seeing it blowing in the breeze does gladden my heart.

The news from Nice is terrible. One of my oldest friend's sister lives there. She, her family and friends are safe but many people have had their lives changed for ever.
