    Hello everyone.  Hope you’re all ok, you especially Hosta. 

    Still waiting for our rain, but at least I’ve caught up with the washing.

    Good morning to everyone.    You're up late @Pat E  What's going on there re lockdown?  My brother is stuck in Melbourne with this snap lockdown they are having.  Luckily, the Premier of Victoria and Jacinda are sensible people!!  Should be sorted by mid-week.

    Beautiful day here although still a good breeze.  It looks as if summer is finally here, for you in Blighty as well.   32°C yesterday afternoon.  

    Have a pleasant Sunday.  Positive thoughts for @Hostafan1 today.

    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    Good morning all … a gorgeous morning 😃 ☕️ 
    From our bed we can see our neighbour’s huge pollarded False Acacia … the creamy flower buds have appeared overnight … more than I’ve seen in other years. B cuts it back hard every year … the amount of growth it puts on each time is amazing. 
    Niece sent photos of her enjoying the beach at Portsmouth yesterday and we’ve just seen two lots of neighbours head off early to the coast ….I think the beaches are going to be rammed … we’ll stay here and enjoy our garden 😎

    Hi Tui and Dove.  It’s nearly 5pm here Tui.  Thinking about what we might have for tea tonight.  No hurry though as we had some Asian rolls for lunch. Hubby is getting used to his Air fryer oven that his sister sent him for his birthday. It’s strange not cooking with oil, 🙄 😳.  Ok though.

    Good morning all. 
    Up at 5 and both tunnels now watered. 
    At least a million horse flies killed. I have to admire who quickly they spot me in there and attack.

    It might explain why they love me too @Hostafan1 … I use Issey M. … although just lately I’ve been using CK … must see if there’s a change in their attentions 🧐

    Pat E, I’m sure your husband will really enjoy his air fryer once he gets the hang of it. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally bought one in January, and haven’t used my main oven more than once a week since! A really good buy.

    Good morning all.

    I use Eternity by CK and I am hardly ever bitten. OH gets bitten by mosquitos.

    We are going to visit another NGS garden today, further north, longer drive, but it sounds beautiful, plantaholic’s garden.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
