So a fine morning, here the sun keeps trying to get through, I have towels in the washer, hope to dry them outside.

We are going away next weekend, its SS's daughters 2nd birthday, so we are going down. have arranged to stay overnight and will take Louise's parents out for lunch before we come back on Sunday afternoon.

Gardener here this afternoon, posts going in this afternoon, the garden at the back is almost finished. Next year I will concentrate on the front garden. We need to start cutting back in the back garden next week. The baskets are down will start getting cuttings sorted ready for next summer. I am waiting for some plants to come. I am hoping to get the baskets planted up with pansies for the winter.

Usual Friday supper. I have made a blackberry and apple crumble for dessert.
