An historian was on the radio today talking about BC, before coronavirus, and AC, after coronavirus. Within a very short space of time the impact has been frightening particularly with the way shoppers have denuded the shelves in my local Tesco. I went in this morning with my usual meagre shopping list to find there were no potatoes or carrots. I live in Lincolnshire, the home of carrots and potatoes. What has the world come to? Have we all gone mad? Are we in a social meltdown?

In the coming few days I can start to plant my seed potatoes and I will look forward to a crop just when the supermarkets are full of spuds.

My quest to remove the rotting tree stump behind the potting shed is becoming a bit of a saga. It is very rotten in parts and the chainsaw cuts like a knife through butter however the centre is proving to be a little more resistant to my whizzing chain.

Individually there are some clusters of colour which need to be brought together into a cascade but that will take some careful planning.
