    New Neighbour...

    ...Is some bien pensant from Islington or some such place. I have deduced this from the fact that she runs the Frome Womens' Friends of Palestine Association (or something) and she's just had a garden party in aid of said group replete with Palestinian flags, Arabic folk music and the aroma of Baba Ghanoush drifting across the fields.

    Her biggest crime, in my eyes, is that she has moved in with about 15 cats in tow. There haven't been any cats around here for ages and we've been blessed with a stunning array of wildlife in the garden. Don't suppose that's going to last. If anything happens to my little robin that follows me round the garden ......

    Now, off to find me Israeli flag......

        Whatever you do, don't leave uncovered dishes of antifreeze lying around.

            Where about in Frome are you - I grew up there!

            Bloody town full of hippy's etc when I was growing up - made for interesting teenage years.
