    That was great. No rain at all, these forecasters are just pessimists. Good company and a great garden. There may be photos of us on the stepping stones across a pond but I forgot to take my camera. (again)

    Looking forward to seeing the photos - sorry I missed it. The weather was nearly the opposite of the forecast wasn't it? - hooray



    Did anyone buy anything other than cake? ????

    You may not have had any rain Nut, but as soon as we arrived in Norfolk we had the most amazing thunder and lightning storm and Snoodle and I got soaked when walking the few hundred yards from the station to her home.  As I drove back to my house the traffic lights on the junction off the A47 had blown and the police were struggling in the dark and  the torrential rain to sort the traffic out.  Now I'm home and dry and in my jimjams on the sofa.  OH had cooked me a lovely curry and a bottle of Sauv. Blanc was chilling image

    Apart from that storm it's been a glorious day - wall to wall sunshine  - loved the Bot. Gardens in the autumn sunshine.  I've taken loads of photos - I'll get them uploaded very soon - but at the moment I'm dozing on the sofa with Dr Who image

    Yes, Topbird. But we didn't get round to the bookshop so all purchases were edibleimage

    On the way home it wasn't raining but there'd obviously been a recent downpour from Ely all the way to Peterborough
