WHAT HAVE I BEEN UPTO?
The weather has been superb, so I have been reading in the garden. Sorry for all the book reviews in one go. I like to do a word search or crossword sometimes. When I saw this puzzle book for the garden, I could not wait to have a go. I am still trying to plough through it. I got some great books for my birthday.

I was so pleased when I found this solution: you tip it into a watering can and spread it over the stones. The first attempt used up the whole container, as it all came out so fast. When I opened another container, the spreading was much slower, as some of the holes were blocked up with the solution. This made it spread over a much bigger area, which was also much more economical, as one of these containers cost £30 in…
