you very well thanks good should we set the scene where are we we're in our garden my garden Rickson my garden which is looking very very sad I was just complaining before you started the podcast uh how terrible it looks because of the drought we've had in England this summer it's it's not quite as bad as the

picture you're painting actually it's lovely it's very green well it's not as green as it should be there's lots of brown bits in it and some of the plants have died um if you'd seen it in May and June it was absolutely gorgeous it was full of roses and bulbs and tulips and all sorts

of lovely things and now it's just looking rather sad we've got a few more a few roses which have um re-flowered but nowhere near as many as as we have in the middle of the season and we've got a lot of flowers called Japanese anemones which are very pretty and very um strong they always come up every year at
