I see one the other morning. I got excited, I really thought I had a humming bird in my garden.

Dusted the drone off the other day and took it over the allotment when I went over to water the plants.

In this one, you can see me next to my Fiesta and if you look carefully, up a few plots and over to the left, you can actually make out my biggest orange pumpkin next to the path that runs up the middle of my plot.

I then turned it 180° and you can see Hornchurch stadium and further on, the fields at the back of our houses. I can even pick out my own house too.

They are applying to build 4-500 houses in those fields. Local council are saying no but will probably be overruled by that khant Khan so if they get the go ahead, it might be time for us to think of moving.

I bet you nick water out of the river (Ingerbourne) to feed that big pumpkin.

Nah. Don't need to. There’s enough mains fed water troughs on site. You can see one to the left of my Fiesta and there’s one further up on the same side of the Fiesta.

Our Susie would jump straight in the one by the Fiesta every time I took her over there.

Thanks. Her replacement was born a few weeks ago and we should be picking her up about mid October. Yet to be named but Susie 4 has been ruled out by Mrs Mottie.

I did think of this song if we were chosen by one of the boy pups. A boy named Sue. Anyway, we have reached a compromise. We will be calling her Peggy. Peggy Sue.

Grandson. Trip to Chessington cancelled, swimming cancelled, karate cancelled. Back to school next week. Took it like the brave little soldier he is though and no tears.

That would be a good name for @Highway Man dog.

Sue.

Then people could say "There's Peggy's Sue".
