Well how are yu all a’gettin on t’gether?
As I am a’written this I recon yu could say we are a’havin Wimbledon weather, Sun und a few showers, mind yu there’s plenty on us who recon that the showers o’rain don’t last long enough. The Missus und I hed a fews days away tuther week und I’ll tell yu suffin I din’t ha’a do when I cum back und that were cut the lawn , mind yu that’ll soon grow agin if we git a nice steady rain for an hour or two. The old ground is suffin hard, I wanted t’move a bird feeder tuther day, thas one o’them with a spike on that you ha’a just drive inta the ground. Do yu know the old lawn were so hard I ha’a water the ground und leave it an hour or two t’soften the ground up so I could push the feeder spike in. When I told somebody about a’doin this they recon I should hev used hot water, he told me where he get his warm water from but I aren’t a goin t’tell yu what he said cos that were a bit rude.
The old Jubilee seem a while a go now, That were the Missus Buthday over that week-end so I took har to Sandringham t’see Cathrine Jenkins a singing. We took sum grub und a couple o’chairs t’sit on. There were a good turn-out t’see har and them Military Wives . They all sung well und Miss Jenkins entered into the spirit o’the Jubilee by singing songs with the world Queen in or by the group Queen. As there is allus a rare lot o’cars on the carpark at these does I allus look about when I park up so I can find the car when we come back to it in the dark. When we come t’leave at about half arter ten there were folk a’wanderin about a’tryin t’find their motors, I spus they found them arter a while
Since I last hed a wud along with yu the Missus und I hev bin away agin in our caravan. We din’t go outa the county this time, we drawed over t’Ludham Bridge, there’s a site there that we hev bin to a time or two. We allus find enough places t’visit und the family can come und see us. We went und hed a look at them poppies at Cromer Church, most on um were red but there were one or two purple ones among them to represent the animals that were killed during the wars.
Another day I went out early in the morning for a walk along the riverbank w’me camera t’see what was about. I see several insects, butterflies und Reed Warblers. While I were photographing one on um I looked over m’shoulder und there were a Barn Owl flying along looking for a late breakfast. I were suffin surprised t’see it und that were surprised t’see me. hos-sum-ever I were quick enough t’git a photo or on it afore that changed course. When we were out a’havin a look about one day I say t’the Missus that I can’t understand folk who keep a’worrying about goin abroad on holiday when we hev got s’much t’see in our own country.
This here fine weather seem t’be suitin our cricketers und tennis players. Our boys beat the New Zealanders 3-0 in the test matches und our tennis players are a doin better than usual at Wimbledon. Thas good t’see sum young players coming through.
My hart don’t them men hit a tennis ball suffin hard, Serving at about 125 mph, I won’t even see it let alone hit it,
For one reason und another I din’t git t’the Royal Norfolk Show und my Brother din’t git there either cos he hev got Covid. I were a talkin to him this morning und we recon that must be the fust time for over sixty years since there han’t bin one or both on us there.
Still there’s allus next year und the Wayland Show cumin along soon.
I see they hev started a building the new supermarket on the Norwich Road, the other supermarket up the road must hev run outa ideas on how to try und stop um. Competition is good und the new one ull be a bit closer, I hope they are a’goin t’put in somewhere where I can chain my old bike up.
Fare ye well t’gether und du yu keep a’troshin.
