Here's hoping everyone gets one! The sun is shining, the birds are
singing and all is well in the South Hams! The scent of honeysuckle
through our bedroom window this morning was exquisite, the Akebia
quinata alba is still stunning everyone with its perfume, Rose Gertrude
Jekyll is flowering, as is another little pink climber we've forgotten
the name of and the Rhododendron Lady Alice Fitzwilliam would knock you
out with the perfume! It's absolute bliss to walk around the garden at
present and see everything pushing each other out of the way to get on
with growing and flowering busily!

It's cold 10C overcast, there's a continuous noise of a diesel pump
and a strong smell of sewage in the air. The whole of our road is up
including pavements so that they can replace the main sewer pipe.

Oh! How I miss that sound and odour. Had that before! A horrible, rotten
experience........Yuk. I hated that just as much as you do. Been there.
