. . . while Henry and James have been busy with various stages of cultivation, I have not been idle. Well, not too idle. The Internet's a wonderful thing - you can find out things much quicker than in the olden days. Then I would have been dependant on seeing posters, or adverts in the newspapers. But now, with a click of a mouse (or tap of a finger) I can get up to the minute (almost) notice of events. One of Henry's all time favourite bands is Squeeze. We even saw them back in the 80's at The Leisure Centre. We never thought we would get the chance again, and certainly not in Kendal. To be truthful, it's not all of Squeeze - just Glenn Tilbrook. But having seen and heard him on television recently he sounds just the same. So come November we'll be in front row seats at The Brewery. That was one gig I could book without any consultation. And while I was booking I noticed Midge Ure was appearing in October. So after a brief consultation, I've booked more front row seats. Then today I saw Show of Hands in December. We saw them last year and it was a brilliant night. So more mouse clicks; more front row seats. It's something to look forward to when the summer (!) is over.
And now, back to reality - all the seeds are sown (wheat and forage peas, undersown with grass). Levelled, stone picked, rolled. The weather forecast said rain for today, so they've been working all hours of daylight. Henry only stopped rolling last night as it was too dark to see what he had done. And so far it hasn't rained!
