Day 2242 What the heck!

3rd October 2023

I didn’t sleep much last night, jet lag can be a drag, so I expect that there will be many more before I settle.

We dropped the grandchildren off at school then started the run back to Bradford on Avon.

It was interesting to see changes in the villages we passed, fields that were once green are now housing developments.

When we arrived at Wine Street, we walked up the winding path towards the cottage.

I stopped in my tracks at what I saw.

There were large shrubs growing out of the wall covering the front of the shed, everything was out of control. The same in the garden shrubs that had self seeded had overtaken the apple trees, it was a disaster, I wasn’t expecting this.

My plan was to work on the shed, but this had thrown a spanner into the works, and I wasn’t happy.

I admit the garden must have looked good when everything was in bloom, but now it needed some serious reshaping.

There are some small jobs to be done in the house, but Louise, my daughter in law plans to do that.

Once the extent of the extra work had sunk in, I walked to Ryan and Louise’s house for dinner and to collect the Shogun that I will use during my stay.
