How lovely to get together with old friends from our now defunct cricket team
Too hot to be outside
It’s cool in the barn. Our expected guests will have to sit outside for lunch.
“Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon”. It’s alright for some.
Using the last of the plums from the paddock
Plum cake made with olive oil not butter.
He didn’t drown, he seemed to like the water but when we put his house in the duck run he happily went back inside.
It’s a start but will there ever be enough for me and my bruvva?
When we were kids my brother and I would go to the local delicatessen (rather than the sweet shop) to buy a “quarter of green olives”.
Our olive trees, in pots on the courtyard, are thriving and today I found a single, solitary olive.
I might have to live a long time to get a proper crop or bequeath the trees to my kids or grandkids.
When is a tortoise NOT a tortoise
We sent some photos of Tiddles to the Tortoise Trust and the reply was that Tiddles is a Mauremys Leprosa turtle and NOT a tortoise!
So now we have to rethink Tiddles home and environment. Maybe he should live with the ducks or maybe with the goldfish. We shall look at this tomorrow in the daylight. Hmmmm.
Tiddles comes out for his afternoon playtime

The sun is out, all the birds are out and they are eating a treat of breadcrumbs

And two beautiful eggs – thank you.
Tiddles is the name of the tortoise (renamed by granddaughter)
And he has had a lovely time out of his cage.
