Today, we (Sophie, Becky & I – Sam was working) whizzed down the M5 to Devon to meet with Becky’s mum & dad (& Jo & Ella) to celebrate Becky’s mum’s 80th birthday (on Tuesday)
Its been a lovely day (a shame to have spent 4 hours in the car whilst the sun was shining)
and it continues to be unseasonably warm. It does get a little chilly come the evening, but the afternoons, particularly when there has been some sun, have been pleasantly warm, into the low twenties. We’ve had a the odd patch of rain, but not much, and I did remark to myself as I took to pitch 5 on Saturday that the I think the green is turning brown again.
Our fig tree is certainly enjoying the warmth, putting on a second flush of fruit
I was off last Monday (extended exeat) and did a bit of tidying up in the garden, and planted the bulbs from last years trug. With the trug still looking magnificent at the moment, I haven’t even begun to think of pulling up the geraniums and planting the new bulbs – probably a job for half term.
Becky’s been working hard in the gallery – she enjoys the job, but not the six day a-week commitment that comes with it!
(and just for info/the record, on Monday I change he oil in the Ka, at circa 58,000 miles)
