For those of you who know France, today’s effort if from Tomblane to la super banche des belles filles. Sorry about capital letters, it’s all Double Dutch to me. 🤔
On the prom by 8am, lots of swimmers but otherwise delightfully quiet. Almost too hot for us by 9am, so now having breakfast at the Donkey Sanctuary. We may try a short walk afterwards before heading home. I have a huge pile of brambles and prunings to shred before the sun hits the work area. No tennis for me, but OH may watch a bit of formula 1, he hasn’t mentioned cricket so maybe he doesn’t know it’s on!
I’m very glad I’m not on my way to London for the wedding. The bride has told me they have already had cancellations through Covid. I also looked at the train website to see if the trains were running on time, and there were dire warnings posted re the heat! Advisory to take plenty of water, get off at the next station if not feeling well, and be prepared for slow progress as a result of the rails expanding and the possibility of trackside fires! Will sit quietly in the garden in the shade instead, might see another shrew foraging in the shrubbery.
Morning all, well the hot day turned into a very stuffy and warm night, in spite of us leaving all curtains closed tight all day while we were out. We then threw everything open when we got home. Had to water all the pots as soon as we got home too. Much cooler and more civilised this morning. Now to find spaces for the plants that somehow managed to find their way from the show, and into our bags. 😎
All the prep for supper has been done … Spanish garlic prawns, lemony garlic green beans, and freshly baked focaccia …. followed at a respectful distance by local raspberries and locally made ice cream.
I’m finding it hard to resist starting the focaccia … the kitchen smells amazing
I’ll have to make do with a cuppa soup and some crisps for lunch

we woke this morning to the sound of buzzards mewing high overhead.

Another beautiful day.
Lots of watering to fit in around the rugby and cricket.
Not sure how many fans there are of spoken word poetry / rap there are on here, but I can thoroughly recommend Kae Tempests new album.
