Volunteering at the Sarah Raven garden in Sussex

This is the kind of volunteer gardening I like: wandering about with some yellow scissors and a pink trug, deadheading flowers that are looking a bit peaky… Not a double dig to be dug… ;)

B lovely, and offered free seeds and a lift to Bateman’s where Rudyard Kipling used to live… Spent the afternoon eating ginger parkin & reading Kim in the lovely gardens, looking for a felt mouse hidden somewhere in the masses of oak panelling (found him!) and walking back to the v friendy Rose & Crown.
