Saturdays Come Round So Quickly

Seem to have spent the week cutting grass - it just keeps growing this year and there is so much of it......the footpath down the meadow, around the new trees, all around the back garden, all the small bits between the veg. beds, around the orchard, out the front and the area under the Turkey Oak. I'm just glad to own a ride on and a battery mower - imagine having to do all that with an old fashioned push machine.

Haven't had any flowers in for a couple of weeks and these are all there were this week. The Alstromeria which ought to be flowering well have hardly a bud between them.

I bought red onions, red peppers and red chili peppers to use with my tomatoes to make my Red Hot Relish. There were some Huge tomatoes all at once that needed using quickly.

And put a ton of climbing beans into the freezer

This week I'm grateful for

• Lots more puzzle pages from the local paper collected from Col's sister to keep the old brain working

• A socially distanced visit from my sister and BiL
• More butterfly spotting. I THINK this is a very faded Small Tortoiseshell, as it has blue spots on the edge but the white bits should be yellower.

Will it be yet another wet Sunday morning to make the car-boot sale a wash-out again?  I hope not.

Have a good weekend whatever you are doing,  I might treat myself to a Chinese takeaway.

Back Monday
