Love this post. Are you on any of the FB gardening groups? I'm a member of the No-Dig and the Brexit Garden groups.

And I think fwiw that french beans are much nicer than runner beans, and just as good for calories and nutrition.

Hahaha very good. No, Dungeons and Dragons starter pack.

Yes the preps have been useful. Building social capital (i.e. being a nosey/friendly bugger) up and down the street over the last few years has helped us get a Mutual Aid group together and look after the three quite infirm pensioners. Krav Maga was useful because I used to drive past a potato/egg s...
