I feel like Mrs Tough Bucket today. I’ve finished the beech hedge, even the thicker branches which I left till last and cut with my Pocket Boy folding saw :-) Even when it snowed, I kept on trimming that hedge...I was determined to get it finished today! I’m grateful for the extra gardening time that lockdown has given me, and the opportunity to get fit again.

I was listening to a podcast interview with John Macavoy, the armed robber -turned - endurance athlete, about how to survive lockdown (from his experience of being in prison for 10 years). The interview was recorded a year ago, which made it even more interesting.
