I've just shown and chap and his son round the annexe. They're relatives of a friend of ours and wife/ mother is coming to join them from Lithuania next month. They loved it and want to move in.
Rumbledy-thundery for a lot of the night after all but only half a mm of rain. Not the 8 we were promised a few days ago before they changed their minds. It's cool and grey but should be warmer and sunnier tomorrow. We'll see.
I think wind turbines are expensive, inefficient and unsightly, not to mention bad for health and wildlife. If you live too close they give off a vibration that can bring on migraines and nervous disorders. The switching of the blades on sunny days can affect vision and cause headaches and epilepsy. Naturalists have done counts of dead bodies near turbines and found significantly elevated numbers of bats and migratory birds. The WHO thinks they're bad for people. Heaven knows what the ones out to sea are doing to marine life.
Seems to me solar panels are relatively unobtrusive and the only time they're not working is when covered n snow. If you get the ones made in Europe they are of high quality.
Love that tree. Old gnarly trunks like that are wonderful.
Good luck with the new let Hosta.
Nervous times till Thursday's post Chicky!

Went to the village to the Post Office and pharmacy, both were shut, had forgotten it's a bank holiday. But there were lots of people as there was a brocante fair, usually it's dead. Shame it's raining, some of the stall holders had covered their wares with plastic sheeting.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Phew! Just finished prepping and freezing yet another load of runner beans ... best crop ever ... OH reckons that at the farm shop price (which is less than the supermarkets charge) we've already had around £25 worth of runners half a packet of Butler seeds ... one double row

Hosta you should have a PM. I'm losing messages though (or it may just be my marbles). So let me know if you don't get it

Message receive and reply sent . Thanks.

We'll call it an extended holiday let.

Hi BusyL. Isn't that always the way. Opportunity knocked on the head by weather.

I've also made one of these for our supper this evening https://www.crumbsmag.com/recipes/51_portobello-mushroom-swiss-chard-and-gruyere-tarte-tatin/ made with Swiss chard from the garden, a couple of huge mushrooms from the farm shop and some Norfolk Dapple cheese.
In a minute or three I'll be out there picking tomatoes, raspberries and sweet peas .......... it's all go out there
