    @Pat E … my father said his first thoughts were for his mother as his younger brother had just been killed on a raid over Germany … he feared she would be losing two sons … but thankfully he was wrong. 😊

    Morning everyone,  gearing up for the invasion later.  Somehow got the pots moved and jetwashing done, OH has already done a lot of prep for the food. The new spuds aren't ready so the only produce of mine they will get is Broad beans,  and Rhubarb in the crumble.  I have some globe Artichokes but they are too fiddly to do for a dinner party. 
    Have a good day all.

    Morning all, another hot a humid day. Just been out to tie in the tomatoes, I noticesd a couple of courgettes to pick and cucumbers are coming along nicely.
    Meeting up with friends for lunch at a local auberge, lots to catch up on.
    Have a good day all.

    Morning all.

    That must have been so scary @Dovefromabove and if your Pa hadn't been so skilled a pilot you might not have been here!

    I hope you enjoy the invasion @Allotment Boy and that @floralies has a good time and a good lunch too.

    My knees are a bit achey after so much walking yesterday but I must weed the greater celandine patch now that the seed pods are forming and the foxgloves are coming out.

    Ah, no Pa was the rear gunner ... (he was a crack shot from shooting on the farm as a boy,  so as soon as the RAF discovered that he was trained as a gunner) but yes, the pilot was incredible.

    Wasn’t that lovely. I hope his mother got over the frights from the war.

    Hi folks. Waiting to board our plane home. Had a lovely holiday in the sun with the family. Can’t wait to get back to the garden and see Secondborn and the boys. Have skimmed back but too much to remember

    I'm so glad you had a lovely holiday @Yviestevie and I hope you have a good journey home. There has been so much chaos in the airports recently.

    I couldn't believe my Wordle result!

    Just back from a lovely long walk on the permissive paths on High Ash Farm … we met some lovely dogs who had very nice owners … but we also had lots of peace and quiet with whole fields and woods to ourselves … almost deafened by birdsong. Now OH is assembling lunch … the remains of yesterdays asparagus and cheese quiche and salad … I’m watching bees busy on the Rosa glauca 😊

    I've just heard on the news Bojo the Clown being BOOED as he arrived at St Paul's.
    Hurrah for that. 
    Best thing about the jubilee so far.
