| three things are different: 1. my hedge is VERY high, 2. Mr Morrow's windows are OPEN!! and 3. there is a 2 story building behind him! |
When a 96 year old neighbour dies there have to be changes. Alan left us at Christmas time and yesterday his nieces and nephews had a clean up, which meant that for the first time in 28 hers, I have seen his windows open. Apparently it made quite a bit of difference to the light inside.
There is a LARGE skip in Bourne Street which is now full of all sorts of things. Those doing the cleaning up tell me that their grandmothers matching shoes, bags and hats from the 1920s were all still there - each set in an individual hatbox!

| weeds are thriving |
Because Alan had no children and has left his estate to be divided between nieces, nephews and their children and grandchildren, everything has to be sold. This includes his fishing shack on the North Coast. I guess we'll get another GMH (glorious modern home) along the lines of the one beside me.....oh dear, the hedges are going to have to be very high.
 |
| in the meantime, it keeps raining and the hedges keep growing! |
 |
| and I can hardly walk down the side |
 |
| the pawpaw in the front garden still has some fruit |
 |
| the pawpaws in the back have flowers |
 |
| and mr very rich builders house is nearly obscured!!! |
