Just logged on today . . . it's been frighteningly busy but manageable - we're kind of in control, for today at least! Reading is bracing itself for high tide on the Thames tonight, I think there may be some bad flooding . . . so sorry to hear of your allotment crop
DM, what a shambles this year

Sounds like August might be OK though (waits to see

).
Karen - was knocked sideways by your post about darling Cleo. A sad, sad day on Catsey indeed - our
grande dame bows out in style. Lots of love to you on an impossibly difficult day.
