Time to do what I want, time to sort out what I think, what I really believe. Interesting!
Well, retired now, I have reviewed 29 years of sketchbooks and diaries and pulled out the things I think are worth more thought, I am slowly working through them.

Everything in the garden is hanging on by a thread. Who else spends an hour a day filling watering cans?
But let's accentuate the positive The Ben Rose is looking amazing, this us it's second flush of flowers.
The smell is just cheering.

After nice cĥat yesterda at "The Clun Run", here is a photo of partially mown June, you can see Kev's pond and the rockery now, it's taken from the other direction.
There's. More colour than this shows, but my patience will not stretch to any further messing with my phone.

Keep cool folks, it can't last for ever, can it?

This is rather nice, though I can take little credit.
A photo of valerian, cerinthe and Ribwort plantain, under the front windows, then turned negative by my phone.
