Hello @Pat E … anothercloudless blue sky here … as we woke a hot air balloon went past the window, just high enough to go over the rise … they’ll have a marvellous view of the marshes and the River Yare as they head towards Breydon Water. You may have seen that area on the tv programme about the River Bure.
Thanks for the info, Dove. Last night we watched Richard Hammond on the Derwent. Love those shows. It’s a bit like watching the cyclists riding through Italy, France and Spain. 😁
That made me homesick for Norfolk @Dovefromabove. I'm so lucky to live in 2 places, OH's cottage in Norfolk and my cottage in Dordogne. So different, the hills, forests and big rivers of Dordogne and the flat marshlands, seaside, pretty villages and big skies of Norfolk.
Today I'm going to see a good friend near where I used to live. She used to open her garden too, for the French version of NGS. We'll have lunch together and a good chat.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Not a cloud here either. Done a few bits already this morning, including 2 loads of washing. Just trying to recall what all the gardening progs this week said to do... done the strawberry runners, made some pelargonium cuttings... what jobs are you all doing??
Cool and sunny here, rather nice. Great start to the footie season, we are top after 1 game!
Little quiz for the musos, Rad/Macs teatime theme time on R6 this morning; identify 3 songs and find the link. I have identified the 3 songs, so what is the link: Foals, Mountain at my Gate Laura Marling, I was an Eagle Simon and Garfunkel, Bridge over Troubled Water.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Hopeless at songs @punkdoc - the only one of those I have heard of is the Simon & Garfunkel one and now it is in my head and I don't even like it! Still coming down from our fabulous Black Shuck Festival on Thursday. It was amazing - a huge Black Shuck effigy, paraded around the town followed by a symbolic burning and tales and stories in the afternoon, followed by a darker retelling in the church in the evening, complete with a dancer representing the Black Dog of Bungay bursting into the church, clambering over the (full of people) pews and 'killing' a couple of members of the audience. Tremendous fun.
The Black Shuck Festival looks marvellous @didyw ... I was reading about it in the online press ... is it going to be an annual event?
@punkdoc .... I'm probably barking up the wrong tree totally, but the first thing that came to mind was The Eagles 'Seven Bridges Road' ... but that's only two links ... I expect I'm wrong.
OH is watering the toms squashes and beans ... I've prepped a piece of belly of pork , parboiled some Charlottes for roasties and picked a few beans and some chard for supper and made a big vat of courgette and broccoli soup for the lunch flasks. Now to have a coffee and watch some athletics before making apple sauce ...

Good morning all 😊 ☕️ it’ll take time @Hostafan1 ((hugs)) it’s taken me seven years to stop waking up at 5 to get ready for work … just wondering … is there any chance that the best little b&b in the west might be available at the end of September? No trouble if you have other plans (we could always go to the Travel Lodge up the road) but it’d be lovely to see you and bring you some proper hugs 🤗
I'd be delighted to dust off the Barbra Cartland suite for you both. ( well , ask my lovely cleaner to do it for you )
I'd better pull my socks up and get the garden looking better than it does now.
I don't see weeds that are smaller than the plants @Hostafan1 😉 ... anyway, in this weather they function as a sort of 'living mulch' to keep the heat off the roots of my plants 🤣
