See you there! Have fun with the rhubarb. I’m in a very rainy Ireland at the moment, picking Charles up soon & then driving to the airport on our way home.
Good to see that you have lots of events and talks coming up. South Downs Green Fair looks particularly great.
Thank you, it’s a great way of seeing a bit more of the country
