Hope you...Gosh, yes, what a week this has been Sue! Hope you were able to get your vaccination ok yesterday and that weather or other factors haven't delayed it. That's absolutely brilliant news if your bubble has completed the first dose :-) I don't know when they will get to me here in Scotland (news suggesting supply issues for Scotland and Wales also) but my husband who has been shielding got a phone call from our local surgery last Friday and got his first jab the next morning, 24 hrs later almost to the minute. Our family is delighted and very much relieved he has finally had it :-)<br /><br />I can't comment at all about a dog or dog owner's life, hehe, but I've seen neighbours' dogs when they have been young and they have been absolutely full of beans and I could see how a gentle recovery from surgery would be a challenge for you to control. I can though, imagine how hard it must be leaving your beloved pet, so young, at a vet's and sitting by the phone. I'm delighted for you all that this went well too :-)<br /><br />As for the planting of beans and other seeds, that is very unfair for regular big orders from loyal allotmenteers to be set back in favour of new customers, larger and individuals. Yes, covid has made people think more about growing your own, that is good, but I do hope you find a way round this and all get the seeds you are looking for.
