Gorgeous all day, about 20d, went visiting, quick pop into Eastbourne Town Centre, OH asked me, to clean his car started as soon as I got back, just finnished when it started raining. I planted up (for the umpteeth time) a little wildflower bit, about a foot square, Sunday, plus slug pelletts, it rained a little I added more pellets, Monday morning, went down to inspect, there was 29 slugs and 2 snails on this little patch, dispatched in a bucket of saline.My little wildflower bit isnt THAT small, that was an old ants nest,
Our blackbirds are eating berries off a tree we did have 2, no idea what they are clusters of white flowers in spring, (early) red berries now. Will have to see if my no;one son can take a pic to put on here, shame we missed the flowers. One of the trees suddenly died this year, but it would ruin a lot of garden to try and remove it, so I have utilised it for hanging baskets.

Sadly Pansyface so are they
happily the blackbirds are not and don't seem to mind me cutting up their meals for them.

We have had lots of nice days and lots of nice days to come
Looks like summer ad arrived
Watear butts nearly empty
Same here GWRS, no rain for quite a few days now and yes the water butts are emptying rapidly.
Grey and drizzly here in Manchester ☔
Alex Deakin on the BBC has just said it will clear in the next couple of hours
hmm, we'll see.
He was also saying next week will be good, stood in front of a map of the UK with a big 30 degrees slapped in the middle of it,
hmm, we'll see.

I liked that bit of kit " the hosta man" had. Found one online, but they're about £55. A wee bit pricey.
