    The speakers always seem to have some reason to be globe trotting, just taking advantage of their position, like they all do. The horrible little scroat that we had before was always doing the same.

    Strawberries preparing

    The bed is 6m x 1/2m two strips. Bit expensive and labour intensive with straw. Vine weevil I did not know about, I'll look that up. I will dig out the older plants and let the new suckers take over.

    You can always block out their faces to make them sort of 'anonymous' , but if they're in the distance and nobody can make out who they are it should not matter.
