Red Dock

Walking along the lane this morning I was struck by the intense red of this dying dock leaf, glowing in the sunshine.

A day of not doing a great deal…I managed to cut the daisy/moss patches and also trim some of the driveway before the line ran out!

Not long ago I bought a 50m roll of heavy duty strimmer line and have been using that successfully..anyway the line in the strimmer ran out a couple of days ago, but I cannot for the life of me find the long roll…so yesterday I purchased a small reel (not the right model, as they didn’t have the correct one in stock) and transferred the line to my strimmer reel - and it lasted about 10 minutes….not very durable obviously.

A new reel of heavy duty line is on order…hoping to get it tomorrow..

Daughter came to collect our big car (the ‘bus’) … it was eldest granddaughter’s 10th birthday yesterday and she wants to take some friends out for bowling and a meal…hence the need for our 7 seater!!
