    Love parsnips, hate Marmite.

    No more hokey cokey!
    Had a look at the weather forecast for the week. My tomatoes are going out! I'll keep a couple of spares inside just in case.
    Also knowing I probably won't have to go on holiday this summer means I can be a little more adventurous with planting. provided we don't get a drought, I might get away with it.

    The wood on the hill opposite the house is now fully in leaf and is looking fabulous. We are blessed to live in such a lovely location - it was the main reason why we bought it, apart from the large garden of course!

    RTBC. Accountant called to check Hubby had claimed his self employment benefit. Told him no, he said you should you're due £X , He gave me the number...... Money hits the bank in " less than 6 working days".

    Always nice when you can get something out of a system you've paid into.

    Even nicer when I thought there was no point in even asking for it. 
    Nice too , of the accountant to check, work out what Hubby is owed and call us.

    That is good Hostafan, accountants so often get a bad press.

    Sitting by the pond this afternoon and it was just like being in the school playground: the newts were playing kiss chase and the dragonflies were giving one another piggy backs ... I think.

    OH brought back some Italian all purpose flour. Pack says you can use it for pasta bread and flour.
    I was a bit dubious.
    Used some today. The dough is softer and rises really well.
    It's baked but not tasted yet.
    If it tastes ok, I'm really impressed and would get it again.
