Mid July

Well....it's mid July...the kids are about to finish school for 6 weeks...and its absolutely lashing it down with rain...I'm wearing 2 jumpers....my sandals have been replaced by winter boots...and the heatings back on !! Welcome to the British Summer !

Gesture

We have a large garden....mostly grass ( being used as a football pitch right now ) and apple trees ( we have enough apples to start a small cider business ) !! But I'm pretty useless at growing flowers....that is until I became pals with the retired gardener next door..... every weekend he hands me armfuls of blooms to plant over the fence...what a star ! So today we cut a bunch of large daisies and took them round to his wife....as a gesture...to say thanks
