It's a beautiful autumnal day, sun shining in the lovely garden here. We've pulled out some of the tired old rocket, getting the bed ready for planting garlic cloves, as I've bought a couple of bulbs from Lidl that hopefully will sprout in the very fertile Kent soil we have here.
Matt is busy outside building a duckhouse ready for our new Muscovy ducklings that are coming next week. They have been hatched in a tortoise tank and handreared.
We'll have the use of Matt's mum's car next week, which is handy, as we're going to pick them up from Leigh on Sea, a place I love, on the Essex coast just before Southend. The Owl Service invited me to play their stage at the Leigh on Sea folk festival a couple of years ago and I fell in love with this characterful old working seaside town, where you can get a lovely plate of fresh cockles and a pint of beer.
