We are having all the pot holes filled in on Main Street and Station Road. We have had to pick our time to go out and then get back. A few years ago we lost The Harwood Pub which we all felt was sad. Although latterly it was not worth going to as it was being run down. Then came the Coop on the site and whilst the workmen are here I am using more frequently it and it is at times a God send. I always walk there and back as it is only "up the road". I was sorry to see Spacey Houses go. Tried to save it but not able to do a lot when the roof was taken off during the night when it was raining by its owners. Think we have the disruption until November but the road looks good and we are not having to avoid the holes.
Unfortunately I have had to go to a few funerals one of them I sat beside this lady and when the relatives came in she said to me is that the son and I said no the son-in-law. Then she said is that the daughter and whose children are they? At the end of the Service I whispered to her do you know them and she said no I look in the Harrogate Advertiser to see if there are any funerals near me as you always get a good spread. On this occasion she was most annoyed as there was no "spread"
As I was walking up to the Post Office in front of me was an elderly lady and we were just passing the dentists where she sort of staggered left. I ran and caught her right arm and pulled her back as she nearly fell down the embankment in front and to the side of the building. Hopefully no one else will take a tumble down it.
Have had my Injections Covid in the right arm and Fu in the left. Can't say I had a good nights sleep that night.
In my rear garden I have a large apple tree and have had hundreds of apples again this year. I stew and freeze them and it is lovely to have apple pies etc over the winter months.. We all enjoy the pie but I am not that saintly as there are so many I have to peel and core that I do get quite fed up. I also have some large quince bushes and one year I made quince jelly and another year gin. That was it never again I just tell people if you want any quince I shall leave a bag or bags at the top of the drive. They are always taken.
Tigs still spending time outside the house as the weather is good but soon she will spend more time inside than out. Tigs is a very affectionate little cat and follows me everythere. I kid myself she love me but really it is for more food.
