Poor Ben is truly less than impressed. The last few days have been full of disruption first with the storms and then with the men working clearing the damage and the houses. He is surprisingly wary of people in the wrong place - he’s quite sociable with people on the footpath but in our Magic Garden, definitely not.

I will have to start a big tidy up when the fence is finally in and the drainpipes re-attached to the house. Meantime like Ben I’m out of sorts
