A day of potting-on today. Veg is a bit behind after my courgette fail but loads of tomatoes and Pelargoniums filling my mini greenhouse. I’ve started taking some tomato plants into work which are going down a storm.
Finally found a sun cream which isn’t sticky as I tend to get a fine coating of soil when I’m gardening otherwise. It’s a dry spray plus it smells delish.
Congratulations to @Chicky, thrilled for you and the team, well deserved after the rather disappointing silver - at least the general public can recognise a lovely garden when they see it. Took the old Land Rover for a zoom (well trundle actually) round the neighbourhood this morning before dropping in to the little village shop for my paper and one or two bits. Exhausting - no power steering, brakes that require you to give them half a miles notice of need and a vehicle that either likes to try jumping on any car coming the other way to give it a kiss or tries to do a bit of 'off roading' practice via the verge or ditch on the near side. Cant believe that some 50+ years ago this was my everyday vehicle, shopping, school runs, towing, agricultural work etc, we covered many miles together but of course I was younger then - and a lot fitter! But I love her and at least she always starts on the button and gets me safely to the local shop when needed, rain, sun or snow - what more can one need! Hope you are all having a relaxing weekend and the sun is shining on your special patch of the country.
This is rather brilliant … sitting in bed listening to the Human League playing The Lebanon live in the park over by the UEA … before them it was Billy Ocean … a bit earlier Roland Gift … The Selecter and Scritti Politti and others … superb! 😎
Yay! ‘Don’t you want me’ and now ‘Electric Dreams’ ❤️

Good morning all 😊 ☕️ Enjoy the cycling @Pat E 🚴 🚴 🚴
We snuggled down last night listening to Human League finishing their set with Electric Dreams … and then we both slept like logs.
Now we’ve woken to an overcast morning and apparently we have a damp morning ahead … in the time it took to type that the drizzle has appeared on the window. I won’t grumble … this weather is helping the lettuces and Swiss Chard almost double their size overnight. 👍
I’ve some sorting out to do in the studio today, otherwise not a lot on the Must Do list so I might find time to watch a bit of tennis … supper will be local lamb chops and local new potatoes, carrots and spring cabbage … and gravy with mint sauce from the garden.
