May 2024

Its may the weather is still at best unpredictable bring on the Sun.

Quite month with just a trip out on the poppy line via a steam train from Holt to Sheringham. A good day and yes the sun did shine. Something about travelling on a steam train that takes you back to the old day's, puff puff slowly but gets you there, life should be more like this.

Good day out, do enjoy Sheringham but looking forward to June when back in Alcudia. Even found a bag shop, do love a bag or 2, so brought one.

Rather a quite month, in part due to the weather which was either wet damp or windy with the odd sunny day. Good in part for the plants, except when it was windy. Purchased a root grafted apple tree 2 years ago into its 3rd year and has apples 9, but the wind caused the the tree to twist and snapped at the graft. sob.

Planning for the 24 poppy begins. So far officially the 23 campaign has collected £19044 bit short of my target of £20000 but still collecting. Will be adding to my patch with Tesco's Newmarket road in 24 and have a target of £25000. Here's hoping.

Since retiring have put on weight plus lost track of what day is it. I'm sure it would have been healthier to have continued at work and miss it. At first wanted to return still do but don't actually think I could would be too tiring. The good thing is no longer have to book leave.

Onto June then.
