Welcome rain

Apart from the hanging baskets I will not have to water tonight, we woke up to rain this morning, not a lot, but there seems to be more to come.

Its to be a busy day, I have the washer on, some of it will be hung up to 'air dry' the rest will do in the dryer, might need to do a quick press on a couple of things. So bags to be mostly packed, we always take one of the big shopping bags with us with things like books, camera's, cables etc. I made small drawstring bags for the tablet etc cables, so they all go in the same bag. Will also take my phone charger, just in case. We will have most of the morning at home anyway.

The chap is coming today to look at the carpet, expect a blast from me, what ever they decide to do if involves moving furniture!!

DB had a mini 'blank moment' yesterday at the coffee morning, he said he was too hot, I nipped home and got the car, he was fine afterwards. I made him stay inside till a bit later in the evening, it really was a scorcher, I had the sitting room fan on all day

Ding dinners tonight, we will have our Friday fish and chips tomorrow lunch time, before we set off, so I will pack up rolls for supper. 

A walk up the garden this afternoon.

For years I have been trying to achieve this effect, so in the 6th year we have been here, a stuffed border.

I have never managed to get delphiniums and lupins to grow, thanks to the strulch we have managed to keep the slugs off them and they are flowering well.
