After the rushing around yesterday, less was needed today.  Some chores were completed and I visited my pa.

He was, as often is the case, nowhere to be found inside. I was expecting the garden to be very boggy after yesterday's rain. It it had actually drained quite well.  

He wasn't in the garden either so I went through the gap at the bottom and through his neighbours garden to find him chatting. 

Ron is in his 90's and said he was sad that his garden was now so neglected.  He pays gardeners  to keep part of it clear but it's a big space.
