Wednesday, 30th May 2012 - It Should have been Morris

An entertaining evening spent at the pub with the Morris Men should have been my picture but I had five minutes on return to create.

I potted up 72 Salpiglossis and 144 Gazinia which when grown from their minuteness will bathe our garden in colour.

Tuesday, 29th May 2012 - Hullabaloo

Harriet, Hetty and I spent the day in Canterbury.

The Jazz band that played at Harriet and Brett's wedding were busking. They remembered the hail storm.

Monday, 28th May 2012 - Savage Garden

Another steamy hot day.

There is a flower like lots of little umbrellas in our garden. Great idea for my blog - shade under an umbrella.

Tim picked me a rose.

While I was painting I sang along to a favourite CD.

We planned to go for a walk with June and Barry followed by lunch at home.

We got no further than our garden.

Saturday, 26th May 2012 - Runners

Tim put up the bean poles today. When the sun had lost its heat a little I planted the beans, watered (with a can as we still have a hose pipe ban) and put lots of slug pellets down. We know what happens when it gets dark in our garden.

Friday, 25th May 2012 - No Strawberries

I made an evening trip to Tesco to get fruit for breakfasts. The shelves were annoyingly empty.

But the sky was pretty driving home.
