Summer

Well, haven't we have had a mixed bag of weather so far...blisteringly hot, chucking it down. But I have been tending to the allotment and planting things out in the back garden when I can.

I got a call from Margaret at the allotments asking how I was doing as she hadn't seen me for a few weeks. The weather had been bad and I had pulled a muscle so had missed some allotmenting action. So we decided that having half the plot would be more of a manageable size for me.

The potatoes are doing well; flowering and getting nice and tall. Can't wait to reveal their bounty soon.

My garden is also looking neat and tidy and the lawn is looking good. More seed will go down in September I think...

Also had a lovely ride out to the South Lakes last weekend and Sal drove me to Halecat , which is a lovely husband-and-wife-ran nursery. Check out the pictures.

See you all soon
