The message
from Sacha contains these words:

To be fair, we had a beautiful sunny day here for most of the day. A couple
of groups of cyclists turned up to have cream teas and one of them mended
his punctured tyre on the lawn. I cannot describe the pleasure of hearing
people sitting in the garden, relaxed, in the sun, enjoying themselves. I
gave some children handfuls of fish pellets and they chortled and shrieked
and damn nearly fell in with sheer delight of getting the fish to come up to
feed - watchful parents and I prevented a soaking! Father wants a pond,
Mother is more cautious so we had a chat about that.
Others just wandered in and wandered around, filling their trolleys in happy
browsing tours that went on for some time. It's just amazing what a
difference a drop of sunshine makes! And everyone was *smiling*!

Introduced two sets of neighbours.

David keeps koi, newts, salamanders, toads of many varieties, frogs
ditto, a brace of baby tortoises, and Jackie (Jaqui?) has a pair of
ponies, (Seabright) bantams, hens, and a pair of performing (sort-of
show-jumping) dogs.

Mike, Anna and 3-4-y-o Luca(??? Lucar?) were delighted, most especially
the target...

Target carried fome a bright yellow courgette which *MAY* have got back
in one piece.
