Carrot flowers and the common red soldier beetle
Busy doing nothing – very tiring for you Nigel
Meadow butterflies enjoying the flowers
And out of nowhere came two unknown and uninvited guests.
We were pleased to meet them and make their acquaintance. They fancied a trip out of London and a tenuous, mutual contact told them about The Gables. They left with two jars of blackcurrant jam.
The sheep are nearly hidden by the tall grass but…..
They are enjoying snacking on the weeds that I pulled up yesterday
Oh Willow, how did you get yourself in there?
We had to get her out by lifting her. She was calling her kids and they were calling her. All together at last. Click below for a sad goat call. Silly nanny goat.
Two gifts for mum and eventually a gap toothed smile
Mum loved the shawl that my friend sent for her.
It was another glass panelled pod visit today. It started with mum visibly distressed but by the end she was reminiscing with me and smiling and even laughing. I think we will have to get used to mum without a full complement of teeth – but at least she has a fair number of her own left – which at nearly 94 isn’t too bad.
Early morning under the pergola with Nigel
My own invention for a gluten free guest
They arrived here tonight after a week away in a rented motor home
Pearlescent pink currants, ravishing raspberries and glossy blackcurrants
While I was at the dentist two more goslings
We’re sold to the owners of an equestrian retirement centre
