Not a cockney sparrow

I had a few days in London at the start of last week setting up a stand at an exhibition. Followed by a few very busy days here catching up on stuff, hence my blip absence. I do hope you are all well and misbehaving as usual!

After the past week of flying and getting up too early and climbing too many ladders and eating too many sandwiches and muffins and being stuck in too much traffic and not being able to see the horizon... it was a pleasure to spend the morning in the veg garden with just the sparrows and the blackbirds to listen to.

Do you know what else was a wee bit weird about London? Umbrellas!!! Haven't seen folk using brollies in ages. They are just something that is totally pointless in Orkney.
