Re: Swallows

Swallows are back and flying around but as yet no nest building in the stables, which is unusual.

Re: How does your garden grow?

I also have small violet plants growing everywhere and I definitely have not planted any. I think it must be the birds.

Re: How many of you have had your second jab?

Terry had his second jab 14th and I had mine 24th and neither of us have had any side effects. I was not looking forward to my second one as I felt so poorly with the first, but everything just fine. YAY.
