It's toward the end of August and I get a phone call from Richard Gaze - well of course I knew what was coming, but about twenty minutes passed chatting about various mushroom related things when I said to Richard what was the real purpose of his call!!!! Trying to make it a little more difficult for him to pop the question! No chance of that - he's done it so many times that it's very brief "Well, I can put you down for September then" he said, and here we are. It is now the 24th August and fortunately our daughter is with us this weekend so I can call on her typing skills - it's like dictation which is the only way I can get the job done. Well, we mushroom growers don't have much time to devote to writing diaries! Daughter now on the phone for the third time in half an hour....so I've taken over the typing myself.
