We made the best sandcastle that a beach has ever seen it took us several hours to make a mark where we had been Little children paused to stare and admire it with a smile for it was truly massive and took all of us a while

Eurovision 22

Watching Eurovision Twenty Two aghast with whoops and cheers we watched as UK on the boards got its first points in years Every time a twelve was called to UK, loud we hailed for this history in the making that our 'spaceman' had regaled Yet, saying that, the public vote to place the winning sound was absolutely justified when Ukraine's turn came round

Release
I'm sitting down in Obi's field as the vice across my chest has returned with bitter vengeance so I really need the rest I've found a lovely spot though by the fence amongst the yellow where I can sit and watch the running of the happy fellow And breathing deep the Sussex air I feel the vice break free releasing all the pressure that this asthma brings to me

Lotty looking lovely
The lottie's looking lovely more like it's owned and loved instead a patch of weed and grass abandonment has shoved and it didn't really take that long we have a system there you see as Sally does the strimming leaving heavy stuff to me So the lottie's looking lovely once again our patch of land on which we'll grow our produce and keep it looking grand

Withy 22
Despite the worst that winter had with storm force winds and rain come Spring the withy fence I built stood proud and there remained It's greying now and brittle from the allotment's changing clime but it's still something I'm proud of and it is uniquely mine

Guaranteed
Never a dull day, an adage to hold whether skies be bright blue or all grey keep a smile on the face and a glint in the eye is something to live by each day Sometime it is harder than others I know but there's always a place there to find just a 'je ne sais quoi' or other obscure to help you relax and unwind And that glint in the eye, may it never fade six decades truthful to me so just give it a chance, try it out for a day and you'll notice the change, guaranteed

Tea with the Queen

We're suited and booted and dressed to the nines with whistles and dresses for these special times as with honour bestowed to the palace we go for tea with the Queen in her garden you know A privilege shared with the hundreds invited we're both feeling nervous but very excited for we know when we get there all will be fine as it's not every day with the Queen that you dine

Reversing the loop
Six miles and thirteen thousand steps reversed, the loop's still fine as this quite pleasant circuit is something wholly mine Takes around two hours with a few stops in between to savour once again the views amongst the best I've seen For this is Sussex and my home we share a synergy taking full advantage of each other's company

Blossoming
The cherry tree in Ham Field is in full blossom and looks great so I'm rather pleased we left things and decided then to wait til some warmer Springtime weather before coming to this place as now we see it in full glory as it smiles in Summer's face

Overgrown
The grass on the allotment was very long indeed the no-dig plots were overgrown and needed thorough weed but after we had strimmed it it once again took shape so I don't thinks it will be too long now til we make it start to grow some produce for our table and for more to brighten up this place which both Sal and I adore
