Swimming this morning, certainly working us harder now, when we first started we were all very hesitant/non- swimmers now we all do a couple of lengths at a time and are learning different strokes
Hills are shrouded in heavy mist - means rain is inthe way and ut is getting darker.
Am going to do a little more of my winter project today ( not gardening weather) I am re-upholstering an old settee I bought on E-bay for 99p. I made an instant profit as I found £3.20 down the side cushions
Don't think Leclerc supermarket is going to do an autumn promotion. They were filling the shelves with masses of toys for C........ GC had cleared a huge space and were filling it with artificial trees and decorations. When we first came to France in 1985 we couldn't buy a real C. tree before mid December.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Right back after yet another de-clutter day. Handbags gone okay. Unworn summer clothes ok. Cookery books, so so.? Mostly only looked at the pictures and have saved best ones. Gardening books..oh No no no..have managed to part with 8 ancient ones. About 30 left on bookcase. One step too far..
Autumn arriving big fashion here, Beech hedge turning, leaves dropping off most things, hosta leaves "rotting", birds eating hungrily, gathered seeds from Honesty, time to get Dahlias out, but still got a few sweet peas & Cosmos purity still going great a deffo' for next year.
Me knackered garden waste bin was emptied this morning and now it is full again with lots of pampas grass bits will have to wait another 2 weeks for it to be emptied again, even got to climb up ontop of the roots of the pampas grass to clear part of top area nice view of garden from there, but it still managed to get me damn sharp grass
Actually did some gardening this afternoon, weeded and cut down plants that had flowered and planted 1 trough with home grown wallflowers. That's 11 troughs planted now and 4 pots. Can't do the gazania ones yet as they are still looking pretty - at least when the sun comes out like today.
Kitchen smells lovely as OH is cooking pears in spiced red wine. Fish tonight with yet more runner beans.
