B4RN is coming.

Any time and date is convenient as long as I have enough notice to slip him a couple of strong sedatives beforehand. 

I looked out last night and again this morning - nothing. I presume as you didn't ring beforehand that you'd eat it all. Pah!

Can't help you with the beans as we've not even had enough for a boiling yet. 

Don't hold your breath with the second crop as I sowed some more late May and planted them out later. Currently they're languishing one third up the clematis netting support and basically doing nowt despite being fed and watered. Bah!
