Nature

 Disappointing to see that the snails have got to the tomato plants that were starting to grow in the greenhouse. I didn't want to use slug pellets but...

Even worse is the box tree in the garden. This well established tree is completely overrun (if that is the correct word to use) with caterpillars, hundreds of them. They have basically eaten it.

I have read that the moth has gradually spread through the country and is decimating box hedging. What an awful pest. I do have some untouched cuttings but will it be worth growing them on in future?

Another day, another closure

 Another shop is closing in Clevedon, CM3 which we used to know under one of its previous incarnations as Cheapjacks.

But before then it was the only 'supermarket' in Clevedon really a grocers - called International.

I wonder how many remember it?
