Dog sitting as new windows being fitted so had a thought..... Crown Prince is my fave of all squashes for both flavour and use, stores well over winter too. Just asked Gemini about eating the seed and it appears to be one of the best 👌 Gonna give them ago I think. ##allotmentlife

Busy morning but a good one 😉 Decades ago I was in the 11stone bracket as a teenage but gradually made my way to 13.5 stone. Big change in diet and life style and.. see photo. Nipped to the caravan and resealed the front windows as the mastic had basically dissolved! Time for dinner

At the wobbly box, got here only to discover I left the battery at home (took it to keep it trickle charged) so had to go back to get it. Arrived back and connected the water pump to discover the hot water pipe had split, had to go and buy some new to fit. But doggy walk done now feet up
