    Loved this video and lovely to see your Mum. I remember when you were planting up the front garden at your Mums. I have coffee envy after your visit to the coffee grinders. I'm so glad you showed some honesty about your bag leaking, too many people try to hide the reality of things like this. My Sister in law has had a stoma bag for over 20 years following ovarian cancer that spread to her bowel so I understand how these things can happen. You are an inspiration Tony, people need to know how life can continue as normal after having to undergo surgery.

    Love the vlog, great being able to take your mum out, unfortunately not something I have ever experienced during my 84 years on this planet as she passed when I was only two. But my family have more than made up for it. We have a massive M&S near us on Colchester which opened in Sept 2022, it’s on two levels and has a 136 seater cafe. They also opened a new M&S food hall in our town last year, with a massive car park, no cafe. I don’t drink coffee, other than the odd occasion I visit Greg’s together with a bacon roll.

    Hello Tony , just to give give you some news about the Black stuff namely SupaGrow Organic Garden Compost . I believe you + others have had a hard time finding it . Well the good news is i have & not from their website but digging around pardon the pun . It is on the website of Wickes , yes Wickes not only that but SupaGrow Farmyard Manure + SupaGrow Premium Blended Topsoil . The best news of all the cost , First two £5 for 50L lastly £4 for 45L . Also SupaGrow Turfing and Seeding Soil -£5 for 25L . I think you all owe me a cup of coffee haha . O also you can order for next day delivery , if over £75 it is free .Newcastle has it is stock , not sure where the other Pottymouth people live ? Hope you find this some good news
