    Our doctor's waiting room is the living room in an old house so it's rather small. If there were 6 people in there when you went in you would think it was crowded. I always wear a mask in there. I notice the nurses and doctors at the surgery and hospital are wearing masks too this winter.

    Repotting an Acer 'Emerald Lace'

    If you want a clear stem lower down then cut right to the trunk. Other branches can be cut back to two buds if appropriate to the shape you want.
