Had a stroll around the small holding and refreshments in the cool barn. Too hot for hiking.

Hatched at the end of May

Cuddles with Tina and Dolly below

Then I go to feed the kids and it’s all worthwhile!

Pick plums or apricots, broad beans or french beans

Or admire the first sunflower?

Then pick up windfall Bramleys

There are also pounds of red currants and white currants to pick and late ripening blackcurrants and raspberries hiding in an overgrown part of the garden near a hedge.

I feel sorry for the birds needing food and water (the ground is so hard and where are the worms?).

Will we ever get rain?
