Leechpool News

The top photo here is not as good as I imagined it would be. it shows the cut grass and sharp shadows and also I have included my recent prize for winning a crossword competition. A 12th edition Chambers Dictionary worth about £40. It must weigh about 5 Kgs!! I buy the Big Issue every week from a Romanian looking woman outside Waitrose. It was pouring with rain the other day so I had nothing else to do but the Soduku and the crossword. I've no idea what prompted me to post off my completed effort but I did. "Gob-Smacked" I was when the dictionary arrived. No mention about who it was from. No Congratulations. Just an invoice for £40 saying that I had nothing to pay.
I feel a bit guilty because for some of the answers I used the Internet Crossword Solver. You type in the number of letters then do blank A blank blank blank E blank C and it gives you a number of possible words. So it was still raining when I finished. The dictionary is huge and heavy. I don't really need it......because I have the internet. But it smells and feels lovely.
Anyway .....main reason for these photos......Moo-Moo should be here.....with her granddad! Playing in my garden. Smelling the flowers. Checking out the new chicks. Picking beans and lettuce.....and helping her granddad dig new potatoes and helping her granddad water the giant tomato plants.
