    It’ll be because you’ve got a certain number of Likes @Busy-Lizzie .... Sorry ... not getting at you 💕
    but I think it’s invidious,  and today’s shenanigans just prove that I was right when I said it would spoil things. 

    I know the suggestion was made with the very very best of intentions, but ... 😢 

    Anyway ... tomorrow is another day ... and it’ll be busy for me ... OH at home, tennis, and upholsterer coming round to look at a couple of things needing attention. So I’m snuggling down with a new book ... night night all ... sweet dreams 🛌

    No idea.   Hadn't noticed stars.

    Funny about the cream and taste buds.   I'd much rather have the rich thick, unwhiped slightly soured taste of Ipigny than ordinary whipped cream on my scones.  

    Pdoc - well done.  It's lovely and Moira must surely be very pleased.

    Have been out since midday meeting with the new treasurer and secretary of the patch club and checking facts and procedures with the people at the council who look after local clubs - all sorts of bureaucracy involved because not only do we get free use of meeting rooms in community centres but also a subsidy towards running costs on the grounds that it's good for social cohesion to have all these groups weaving the social fabric.   

    We have thus caught out the dementors in a web of lies and deceipt.   Interesting.  Loads of fun to come unravelling all that and yes - it's just a small club of 35 or so ladies who like to create things with needles and fabric and yarn.

    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 

    Everything seems much fresher since the steady rain of yesterday afternoon ... at least it’ll have laid the dust. 

    Intriguing goings on @Obelixx ... is there a book in it? ... maybe even a tv series? 😉

    allotmentboy, you can see we are gardeners on here, we had rain all day yesterday, one water butt is now full others not bad.  I went shopping, yesterday, bloke looked out of the window said "Huh, summers over", its only the 3rd day of rain we have had here in the SE since Easter.  I am already keeping i from our showers.

    Normally I would be delighted to see this amount of rain on the garden but today is the day of the Strawberry Tea and I must fit 44 people into two rooms in my house.

    I don’t want stars for liking I just want to like in peace and quiet.

    Morning all. I'm not usually up so early (definitely not a morning person) but now wide awake in the sitting room which has dual aspect windows. Out of the front one there is beautiful blue sky with sunshine and I'm watching the goldfinches in the magnolia feeding their babies. Out of the side west facing window, I'm looking at very dark grey rain clouds coming over the hill. Slightly weird. Rain was not forecast today and I'd like it to be dry as the fencing chap is starting work this morning.

    Hi all
    Just heading out for breakfast at the Chatsworth cafe, before the show.
    Maybe a bit soggy underfoot.
