I had such a busy day in the garden yesterday, so today I am taking it easy. In no particular order I:
drained and cleaned the water butt
finished building the insect shack
restarted a compost bin
did some weeding and sweeped the patio
I was just about to finish when a young man with a heavy rucksack and sleeping mat etc, came along the path at the edge of the field and asked me how to get out of the field he was in. That would have been complicated to explain, and depending where he was heading, it would take him a long way round if he was headed into the town. He did not seem to know where he was or where he was heading. So I invited him into the garden for a cup of tea, thinking he might be disorientated due to lack of fluids or food, and asked him if he had recently eaten. He said he would like a refill of his water bottle, but apart from that he was alright.
Anyways, we sat in the garden drinking tea, and for some reason he had his book on the table - "Children of Men" by P D James, if you would like to know. So we discussed her novels, and Inspector Dalgleish. It turns out he was heading for Suffolk. We also discussed the Transcantabrico train route in northern Spain and the Camino de Santiago de Compostela.
Then I walked with him to the main road to find his way into town, and for him to decide where he is going next. I now have his email address.
