The promised close up of the beans and peas I planted.

Had a knock on the door in the afternoon, some bloke wanting money. I thought it might be something to do with the saving scheme for mains water, or something, so after much mutual non-comprehension I gave him a 1000 ft note. (About £3.50 or a nights drinking!)

When I went out later, Steve informed me he was collecting for charity, no wonder his eyes nearly popped out when I gave him the money. It was 5 times what everyone else was giving him.

Seems the idea of using sticks for beans is unusual here. Most of the villagers grow them up the fences.
