Along the yellow brick road

It is so boggy on the lawn at the moment that I have been walking around the brick border to get to the far end of the garden. Funnily enough, Laika does it when she comes to stay.
Had coffee with a friend this morning and found myself a new gardener. Brilliant. The guy I have used in the past has put his prices up so high that he is now way too expensive. Had a wonderful swim this afternoon in the Quarry pool. There were four other people, in the Olympic sized pool.
