Yikes! I've got a much less prickly task to do today. I have an Elderflower tree attempting to grow outside my kitchen window. It has found the water flow from the kitchen sink and is setting up shop. I sense that this might be a bad thing for the integrity of the structure of the house. Years of Gardeners' Question Time experience in me there is. I shall be attempting to transplant/graft the tree into the lower garden where it will do less damage while listening to Bob Flowerdew on today's programme of GQT.

And I've got to squeeze in Soho Pride today, of course. I'll be wearing nothing more than body glitter, a posing pouch and a smile. Actually, that sounds too busy. Rather than Soho Pride I might get around to finally organising Forest Hill Shame.
