We are like others experiencing high winds which are causing some problems and a good deal of clearing up.  This is proving a challenge as I have managed to badly twist my ankle rushing downstairs (to get out into the garden of course) and had to spend an afternoon with my foot in a bowl of iced water.  It did the trick but not a nice experience.  Much banged up I and the under gardener went to a reception for the Shropshire NGS where those who are opening their gardens meet and collect paperwork and just have a get together with the County Organiser.  It bring it home just how close June is.
