This being the last day of sunshine for the next few I walked around the garden with a camera and photographed
these flora, each of which carries a title in the gallery.
Meanwhile the jackdaws were most vociferous on the chimney stack.
During the afternoon we splashed our way through lanes such as Sowley where pools on the verges spread across the road.
Roaring its way beneath the road a fast moving bubbling stream alerted me to its presence.
Further along, on a drier stretch, the familiar group of ponies with their Shetland acolyte that we normally see
on St Leonard’s Road had strayed somewhat from their normal beat.
This evening we all dined on cheese centred fish cakes; piquant cauliflower cheese; tangy ratatouille; roast white and sweet potatoes; tender runner beans and broccoli stems; crunchy carrots and firm cauliflower, with which Jackie drank Zesty and water and I drank Mighty Murray Australian shiraz.
