2nd boot of the year at Blakemere this morning after shopping at the Co-op. Very warm and sunny. Lots of people and mostly wihtout masks which is always rather alarming considering the infection numbers rising again. Anyway, we wore our masks and tried to keep away from people which was almost impossible. Hopefully get less nervous about crowds as the Summer goes on. Hazel got a few items that were useful - the garden skewers? the child dummy hands, the brass door knob and the 1905 book about Cheshire which mentions our village " Rudheath is well known as a sanctuary for the criminal classes"! Ha ha! It hasn't changed all that much then! Afterwards to Granma and Audrey's to do some gardening and try out the new fangled "Dandelion Lifter" which took Hazel about an hour to put together. Once constructed it worked rather well - lifting out the weeds with a twist and leaving a neat hole in the lawn, suitable for a small putting green! The offending dandelion ( I would happily keep them but Granma hates them ) can be judiciously ejected into the bin from several feet distant. Saves bending over with a trowel I suppose.
