    Morningimage

    If you're going to Ranworth BL be sure to pop into the church - beautiful rood screenimage

    Hope you feel better soon Fairy - gentle hugs - from a distanceimage

    Very grey here although I think it's forecast to brighten up - but really chilly in the breeze. Maybe a little pricking out and potting on the potting shed with the radio on this morningimage

    Chicky ... that's absolutely gorgeous image

    Front lawn mowed and edged and some supports put in for the lupins which are nearly flowering!  They snuck up on me ... hadn't noticed how quickly they were growing.

    That meadow is just lovely. I wonder how they keep it so pristine.

    Got to paint some wooden pot rollers today. Going to do them slate grey to match the bench the pots will be going by. Finish off emptying, cleaning and refilling the pots I found vine weevils in. The grubs will be a nice treat on the bird feeder. And if the weather holds repair the shed roof with new felt and give second coat of paint.

    busy day in the garden so just hope the rain holds off.

    Back 'lawn' mowed and edged ... I left a patch of longer grass and daisies around the pond image

    Now I'm indoors for a lovely herby omelette and another image then I'll be on my hands and knees out there weeding the baby chard.  There's a lot of chickweed germinated around it ...

    Home for lunch .

    One customer this morning had no drive, just a gate in a hedge. Green painted sign, with green mosaic house name, set against the hedgerow, under some trees. Funny I missed it.

    They didn't answer the phone on any of the 4 occasions I rang. I knocked on 3 different houses to ask directions, nobody at home until I found a guy working on a brand new house.

    Devon.

    Having to chase around like that sounds a bit above and beyond to me. WR employ such lovely conscientious peopleimage
