Photos of me in my hob nailed gold boots lol!!! I think not -
although some were taken of me last night dancing - they will be
destroyed a.s.a.p.; I didn't know I could look so daft!!!
Now on topic - what a storm we had here last night, did you get it
your way? I planted a melange of salad seeds, I wonder if they will
come up in straight lines as they must have been bounced out of the
soil with the force of the rain and hailstones.
