Before and After

... or, rather, after and before! All done by hand - well, by long-handled metal-brush - but it's still a back-breaking, tedious, time-consuming, neck-hurting activity, clearing moss from my mother's drive. And it's a bit like painting the Forth Bridge - by the time you've finished, the first bit is covered in moss again. And if anyone says, You've missed a bit, I'll ... I'll ... I'll say it for them! Darn it!

Oh, but the heatwave's arrived; very welcome after yesterday's dawn till dusk fog. Glorious hot sunshine! I'd love to hit the beach, but it's Ma's going-out-day - so it's pushing wheelchairs and being patient for the next seven hours. Still, the drive will be lovely with the sun showing up the changing colours. Let's enjoy it while it lasts.
