Rye's grand isn't it? Camber sands gets too busy for me in summer though
After my wife died I met up with some of her friends over at a pub at St Botolph's bridge over towards Hythe (of Dimchurch and Hythe railway fame(?)) that was quite nice. And I think I'm right in saying at one point the only Guinness owned pub in England was at Bodiam. Not sure what's there now as i haven't been that way for years.
I wouldn't want to be a woolly sheep in this heart @Hostafan1!
No idea what the temperature was today but even with spending a couple of hours in the (slightly cooler) church, stewarding the exhibition, it was far too hot, still and muggy to be comfortable. And after my shift I had to water the planters on the church railings that form my bit of the watering regime for our In Bloom group. Back and forth to the tap outside the other church with my trusty can. The walk home is only 5-10 mins but it felt as if I were crossing a desert today.
Hope everyone is able to sleep tonight! Night night.
Evening peeps. My garden is not pretty. It poured today and I was hoping that all the peat would have washed in and it would look like a bowling green. It didn't. 😲 I'm stunned! Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday... I've been wandering through the archives of my previous ramblings and the difference in the garden is shocking. Some trees have gone altogether and some are now huge. There is grass where before there was overgrown impenetrable bramble. There is definitely progress but in which direction remains to be seen. I found a whole thread I'd had about a plum(?) tree. Well, since it hasn't grown, shrunk, flowered, fruited or housed any blackbirds since it's discovery all those years ago, it is now out and at the bottom of a very deep hole since yesterday! Ha! That's how we roll round here. You have several years to sort yourself out or you're for it! 🤣 Sleep tight.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Sleep tight.
Up and out early today - temperatures to exceed 35°C later - bike run with the dog, then SM. Hopefully home by 10am.
Have a pleasant day.
