Lovely weekend here, a few spots of rain but not enough to even wet the
patio during the day though it must have rained last night, blazing
sunshine for most of the time. I can feel I've burnt my head out on the
allotments today.

Yes, beautiful - real summer for the whole day...

And Americans wonder why we don't 'do' zones! It's grey and
rain-threatening here again today and I'm looking up flight
schedules.....;-)

Foggy, thundery, raining and cold here.

Have you tried Cheapo?

That sort of 'froze' without completely downloading but from what I could
see, there are no flights from Exeter. ;-) In reality, we can go away
until September, when we're hoping to have a week or two in Italy. Apart
from that, we might be able to grab 3 or 4 days in Jersey with my son and
daughter in law who have just moved back there. Their rather large garden
needs some sorting out to bring it up to date and as my son's knowledge of
plants is pretty much "that's a dandelion and I think that's a daffodil",
we're going to be drafted in! He inherited the house from his grandparents
who were passionate gardeners but his grandmother, who was pre-deceased by
her husband, tried to keep the garden as he had known it when he died in
1998. It is still a remarkably lovely garden but it is also an illustration
of how quickly a garden can stagnate or even go backwards in terms of the
dying off of old plants which aren't replaced etc. or clinging on to things
which are past their prime, just for sentiment's sake.
