Morning all,


I hope the sun shines on you this week, it’s about time we had a little more summer weather especially for all those lucky folk on their holidays.

It’s been a bit of a crappy few weeks hence the lack of news coming from this end. Sadly my dad, who has been poorly for a while, passed away. He was such a gentle quiet man, who so carefully looked after his family. In the end he slipped quietly away surrounded by his family at Katharine Hospice in Stafford on a bright sunny day with the doors open onto a lovely garden. I can see now why anyone who encounters fantastic hospice care as we did wants to give them all their cash. All the staff were so caring and considerate to Dad and the whole family and we are very grateful for that. The family, friends and neighbours were all brilliant too, all coming together to see everything through. We cut bunches of garden flowers with some of Dad's vegetables for the funeral which was a lovely celebration of his life despite the sadness of the day.

My brain has been somewhat mushy since, as we all try to readjust our thoughts, and the turmoil on the streets and in the financial markets haven’t nurtured a very positive vibe. As usual everyone on the nursery has been very supportive during a tricky time which is hugely helpful and we have successfully managed to keep everything bowling along here.

That’s your lot this week. Hope to get the brain working again soon.

Turbines running now. I have managed to break into my You Tube account and put on a video of one of our turbines being lifted into position if anyone fancies a look. There is one of the turbines running too.
