Tui, there always old burned trees in the Australian bush. Don’t even notice them anymore. It must have been years ago because we haven’t had one here for the 20 plus years we’ve been here. 🙄. Very glad that it’s so.
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ Have a nice outing @Busy-Lizzie.
OH is at home for three days now so he’s going to get on with the finishing touches to the kitchen … I may have to visit Homebase for some paint for the pipe work.
We were just saying that a lot of stuff in the garden could be cut back now … but it looks so amazing … it’s been so hot out there I’ve not done much ‘housekeeping’ this summer and the plants that have enjoyed the heat are rampant … there’s a truly tropical feel sitting out on the terrace 🌴

Morning all. Well we had drizzly rain from lunchtime yesterday and it lasted most of the night, but like Auntie Rach it also became quite windy. Back to blue skies and sunshine this morning with the air smelling beautifully clean and clear, the best type of September weather. Enjoy your Sunday everyone.
Morning everyone, we had quite a heavy downpour yesterday lunchtime yesterday but yet again it stopped within 10-15 minutes and dried up again. Dull and cloudy again today. Not sure what we will do today, 2 visits to plots yesterday, in between the rain so a bit creaky today.
A decision has been made re paint purchase ... tomorrow will do ... I have to drive into the city for a dental checkup ... OH will come with me and pop into Wilko ... if they don't have what he needs then the wonderful Thorns ironmongers in the city centre will do ... then we'll meet up for brunch, either at The Lamb ... or the Two Magpies bakery and deli ... more decisions ...

Morning all, temps of 32 deg today and tomorrow, I think I will give up with the garden now for this year and just see what survives. Last night was quite chilly though, enough for a dew and we left the cushions out side on the chairs which were quite damp this morning. Time for a coffee...I hope the cushions are dry! have a good day all.
How gorgeous is that? Obviously a dream home once upon a time ... and it could be again ... and meanwhile think of the fun/killing to be had on Ebay ...
💡 or, what about putting it on AirBnB as a sort of 'themed holiday ' place ... perhaps with staff ... you could make a fortune ... OH says there'd be a demand for it as a film set too ... anyone got any rich rellies with money to spare ...?

I love Thorns @Dovefromabove! Our old house in Twickenham had a picture rail and I tried to buy those brass picture hooks - eventually found a few. Moved up here (no picture rail) and saw that Thorns had boxes of them in three different metal shades!
Still no rain. I'm pretty sure it is all waiting until the Food & Drink Festival next month.
When watering the planters on the church railings (the bit I am responsible for) yesterday evening I saw that the plants in half of one of them were dying whilst the plants in the other half (there is a division between the two) were still OK. As they all get the same amount of water/feed this is quite inexplicable. We decided we would keep all the hanging baskets and planters going for this month but it is really feeling like they should be coming down in the next week.
Had you tried Coopers in Halesworth @didyw ... (used to be Jacksons when I lived down there . the chaps still wore brown overalls as per Four Candles) we still go there for things that we can't get anywhere else. Just like Thorns, but without the stairs and warren-like layout. When we were art students we spent so much time in Thorns .. and Butchers the haberdashers ... but that's gone now ... and so has the tripe stall on the market ... 😢

Promised rain has still not arrived, but Autumn must be coming, we have seen the first Redwings in our Yew trees.
