Hello everyone. Thank you Dove for kicking July off.
Busy work day but we had a Well Being Bus at work today. A drink, biscuit and massage chair...we lasted 5 minutes and the emergency bleep went off! Not very relaxing! I popped back later to say thank you and we were given some lovely hand creams 😀
That sounds rather nice @AuntyRach, even if you didn't have much chance to enjoy it. Does the bus tour all the local hospitals?
In between showers, I've managed to pick the first blackberries and gooseberries and deadheaded the roses in the back garden. Meant to start the weeding but got sidetracked! Heavy rain forecast for much of tomorrow so doubt I'll get much done then.
The Well Being Bus is called Project Wingman, a charity set up to give NHS staff some relaxing respite and well being training. They tour around and it’s staffed by volunteer cabin and airline crew.
Not sure what to do with half a bag full of sprouting SM potatoes I'd mistakenly left in a hot porch for a week - any ideas anybody? Do I put them in the Council green bin, Council food bin or shove them under the hedge for wildlife? I don't want to put them in my own compost bin in case they want to grow.
I'm annoyed with myself for forgetting about them.
Thanks Dove, I rather thought that might be the case. Council food bin it is.
Glad you enjoyed your gardening @Busy-Lizzie, I've just been out again and swept the paving before the expected rain tomorrow - I do wish the birds wouldn't flick all the moss on the roof down on the path!
Thanks for the supportive comments. We went to Woolsthorpe Manor today. For those that don't know it was the birthplace of Sir Isac Newton. Not a grand house at all but very interesting history. I must admit I misread the route plan & it was much further away than I realised, but it was a straight forward trip as we are near the start of the A1 and the Manor is only a couple of miles off that, so easy to find. We only rejoined the NT this week having allowed our membership to lapse 3 years ago. So we are making good use of it.

Have a lovely evening all.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Tomorrow morning I'm going to watch grandsons play in a tennis tournament.
