    So, Lindsey Hoyle (HoC speaker) was on some work trip to the Virgin Isles last week. Did we pay for this? What possible "work" could it have involved that could not be done by email or Zoom?

    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.
