Gordon the gecko!
Gordon as we named him, had decided to take up residence in our spare bedroom last spring. We only noticed the odd glimpse of tail disappearing behind the wardrobe or wall mounted mirror. He was not bothering us and seemed to be keeping the fly and moth numbers in the house to a minimum. But, we decided although we didn’t mind him being there. We really could not expect our guests to share the room with him!
We tried various ways to tempt him out, but to no effect.
We did eventually manage to scoop him up with a hand broom and dustpan then into a shoebox. We released him unharmed in the plants around the patio.
Now, if we see a similar sized gecko around this area. We hope that is our little Gordon.

The Allotment
2019 has been a better year for the vegetable patch – primarily because there has been an unbroken water supply unlike last year when there was little or no water for a 6 week period.
It is now not only the very warm part of the year – we are around 40c every day – but the vegetables are ripe and ready.

Lucky Green Fingers?
I would like to introduce myself. I am Linda Beckett I have worked in accounts departments for more years than I care to remember, the last 5½ of these have been as part of the SYNCHRO ERP team. Dealing with figures on a day to day basis I turn to my garden and growing plants as a form of relaxation. I particularly enjoy getting plants for free or almost free. Growing them from cuttings or from saved seeds
