GOBBLE GOBBLE...

Fear not, Dear Readers, WE have not been invaded by a flock (?) of MY Turkey friends.. it will become clear at the end of the Post!

With a blue sky, itchy feet and Garlic to plant SHE headed for the garden.. to find that 'they'have been and cut back verges etc.. SHE would rather they installed a thief-proof gate but at least they are doing something!

SHE found little shed un-molested but still unpainted.. did SHE think little shed was going to do it?  So out with that wide paint brush and tub of timber paint and a good job was done.. SHE even painted little gate in fence.. now very chic!

Pulled off weed suppressant fabric and dug most of one of the long beds.. pulled out metres, not an exaggeration, of that wretched couch grass root and jurst as SHE was going to go over bed with wire rake.. a big black cloud opened and down came the rain!  

Ran for little shed.. so much easier to lock and unlock with the long key.. inside all was dry and snug.. thank goodness little shed got the new roofing felt in time. 

Rain rained for half an hour.. lovely to see it being 
absorbed by thirsty soil. WE are desperately sorry for those poor people who have been flooded out 
of their homes but down in the London area, WE
have had an incredibly dry time this summer and 
soil was like fine dry powder.

SHE looked at an Apple trees beside terrace.. oh drat! Someone had picked the Egremont Russets..
that is a great pity as they should not have been picked for at least another three to four weeks.. boring thieves. 

This made HER go around and pick all the apples, as whomever stole the Russets would be surely be back for all the rest.. ggrr.

Beside terrace is small Raspberry bed and here 
comes meaning of the Title..

These are all of the Autumn fruiting variety and there are, apparently, a few canes of GOLDEN 
Raspberries.. I have never seen let alone tasted one of these and "WHY NOT?".. I hear YOU all cry..

WELL.. here is why, Dear Readers, SHE sidles up to them and with a quick flick of a finger and "gobble gobble" they are gone! Sigh.. 

See how hard a life I have.. heehee...

GeeGee Parrot.
