    The highlight will be dashing outside to retrieve the bins whilst avoiding all contact with the neighbours and passers-by. Think I will pretend that I’m John Wayne on patrol on a South Seas island trying to evade the Japs who are looking for him .... <laugh>

    Daffodils - Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

    We planted 1,400 daffs this year ....

    Amazingly, 2 weeks ago we had a card put through the door by a stranger thanking us for the display of Daffs!

    Photo I’ve just taken of the middle rockery

    First mission successful - retrieved the black bin. The food, cardboard and plastic bags not yet collected, nor the paper and glass/bottle boxes...

    Cheers Nick - we also have a bank that looks pretty spectacular (even if I say it myself) but not allowed out to photograph it!

    Jeff:

    “He was coach to the itinerant Barbarians. But only the bent nose, broken three times in a 16-year career with Swansea, is a dead giveaway of a past life in the arcane pit violence of the front row. He was a hooker.

    "I had to keep weight on as a player. I shudder when I think of how I used to have to eat. When I stopped playing, I lost a stone and a half and have been lucky to stay at that kind of weight ever since."

    He came from classic Welsh rugby stock in Neath. But his miner father didn't play. He was a top amateur cyclist who once won a title as Champion of the Valleys.

    Of the five Herdman sons, all played rugby and two played for the RAF.

    "At school it was the only winter game you could play. There wasn't a soccer pitch in the area. I remember a teacher confiscating a football in the school yard and handing back a rugby ball. That was just how it was."

    The young Jeff Herdman was an all round athlete who played cricket and was a Welsh schoolboy champion sprinter and even shot putter at one stage, but he was a natural hooker.”
