I lent the beekeeper my cordless hedge trimmer about ten days ago, so he could see if such a thing was useful on his much larger estate than I have here.

Last night, he was in the pub in the next village and, before his lift home arrived, I suggested that, if he left it in the greenhouse,. I would pick it up in the morning.

He lives to the east of the town here and works even further east, so this seemed like a reasonable move - I could just go there at my leisure today and pick it up.

I've just been out and looked in the two greenhouses he has - no hedge trimmer - this wasn't a huge surprise, as he had at least six pints last night, after I got there.

Undeterred, I realised there were other places that could be classed as "greenhouses", so I looked where the conservatory on the side of the house used to be - I looked in the extensively glazed original shed - I looked in the polytunnel (which I nearly forgot about) - I looked on the side of the new shed, where the relocated conservatory is now sited.

No sign anywhere.

I had a look in a few other places, but didn't find it. It didn't really matter greatly and I decided to come back and we would resolve the matter later.

On the way back here, I had a thought...

So, I looked in the greenhouses here and found it.

He is the sort that gets up at 4am and does a day's work before breakfast, whilst us normal people sleep through the reverse burglary situation, completely unaware of it.

Dropped the wife off at Leeds airport at 2, big accident on the M6 meant me and Eric spent most of today in the car, finally got to bed at 10pm. He just vomited all over us both, can't shower him due to sensory overload, not the best start to a week on our own :ohno:

Gosh must have been awful for you and everyone else stuck.

When I drove home from Bournemouth yesterday , I luckily had a decent run. But there was miles and miles of stationary traffic on the other direction with several accidents and then a car on fire just in that short time on the M3 and M27 alone. Loads were standing out of their cars going nowhere any time soon . Really felt for everyone in that blazing sun.
