Was up really early this morning, just couldn't sleep. It's a bit damp here but not cold.
I don't know whether to pull up the annuals I have got growing between shrubs, perennials, etc as they are starting to look decidedly ragged The cosmos which should be about 2 ft are now at about 6ft tall and starting to fall over. It won't get done today as I am going to Louth to do a bit of food shopping. They have lovely independent shops, with great local produce.
Watched Wartime Farm and The Bletchley Circle last night. The log cutter on Wartime looked lethal, as did the kiln they made for the tiles. I was impressed by the resulting tiles tough. Didn't think much to the billet for the evacuees, was it a chicken shed? That Ruth ! what a woman, can knock up a bed in no time. and make the bedding! as well as drive a tractor, make a murkey.
Love the honeysuckle picture Jean, yes it's a lovely way to start the day.
Good job you hired the charabang Geoff, although we may need 2. Have checked with Grandad, and all are welcome to the party. To be honest I doubt he'd notice a few extra. I counted up and he has 3 children, 11 grandchildren, 16 (so far) great grandchildren and there are 2 great-great grandchildren expected. Thats without the 3 step-grandchildren and their children. Plus partners, plus his younger sister, niece, and her family.
Cubs last night and we took them on a walk - the footpath went through a field with some very large horses in it (ones used for pulling the brewery dray) who decided to follow us as we walked. And we ended our walk in the dark at the graveyard, which they thought was quite exciting.

Nice flower Jean

Hi Lowenna! Waving Profusely!
My OH back at work today after a fortnight off, a day to myself,and the weather outside is dank and wet, so no gardening will be done today.
A perfect excuse for a few hour's at the GC me thinks!
Have a great day all!
