Glove love

I love tools and clothes when they get worn-in so that leather gloves like this become moulded to your fingers. Tools become oiled and smooth and fit, well, hand-in-glove. Maybe that's why I was so taken with a newspaper story today that homed-in on a patch to Prince Charles's suit.

The best day of the year so far in the garden. I'd thought of going fishing this evening but Gill was cooking something special - mushroom risotto followed by bread-and-butter pudding using her own bread. I can fish another evening. The risotto was as good as I've had anywhere. No, it was better. She's such a good cook.
