On another dull, humid, morning Jackie continued garden maintenance while, since we may be approaching sufficient relaxation of Covid rules to necessitate un-crumpled attire, I made a start on the pressing ironing backlog.
Before lunch we visited Otter Nurseries for the Head Gardener to purchase potting grit and yet more bedding plants.
We then drove to Barton on Sea where the Marine Drive area was occupied by visitors and by a gathering of paragliders.
The gliders breezed along above the green,
seemingly unnoticed by the occupants of various benches, including one gentleman engrossed in The Sunday Telegraph featuring Queen Elizabeth’s message to the England football team ahead of tonight’s Euro 2020 final against Italy.
The aerobatic performers also enjoyed bird’s eye views of holidaymakers on and around the beach below.
This afternoon I watched the Wimbledon Men’s singles final between Novak Djokovic and Matteo Berrettini.
Before settling down to the aforementioned football match we dined on Jackie’s spicy pasta arrabbiata and tender green beans with which she drank Awatere Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2020 and I drank Patrick Chodot Fleurie 2019.
