We saw a heron flying from the lake we passed on our walk. I didn’t manage to photograph him but he frightened the geese.

Mal went to his allotment again! I think he will have to have his own little shed down there. Having said that, they do have a communal shed and when I walked down there yesterday with Ellie he was busy chatting to one of our neighbours.

Wow, look what Ollie won at school, for 100% attendance this year………………….

He was so happy, I’m not surprised I would have been at his age!

We ordered a tumble dryer online at ao.com. A very efficient company. It’s the first time we have used them. We looked at Currys and this particular dryer we would have to wait three weeks with them. This one from ao, we ordered Wednesday and it came today. Just in time for the rain.

I have found a really nice summer wine Echo Falls Fruit Fusion Rose wine , Pear and Raspberry, delicious.

It rained and rained! All Mal’s fault, he has been doing a rain dance to soak his allotment. At least we know there are no leaks in the cottage.

It was nice and sunny for our morning walk. Ellie was pleased to see her horse friends were already out of their stables. She has become very friendly with them.

Mal and I then went shopping as we had quite a lot to get in the hope that the twins will be staying with us. As soon as we finished lunch Mal was off to the allotment again.

At least he has one patch on it that he can start putting seeds in.

Happy Birthday to Torin! When I phoned him, Scarlet was still in hospital. Now they have to wait and see what the doctors say. We went for a sunny walk and found an abandoned orchard but there are loads of apples there.

Scarlet was able to go home in the afternoon. The doctors have upped her dose of beta blockers. We are hoping this will keep it under control.

Mal went to his allotment in Preston and did a really good job. He has cleared it all. “Before” and “after” ……..

A lovely sunny morning for our walk.

We went to Westwood as the optician had some glasses ready for me. I have a couple of spare pairs now. I only use them for reading but I can never find them when I want them. Mal also wanted to get some more seeds to quickly plant in his Preston allotment, when he has cleared it and dug it. From there on to Garlinge allotment, so that he could dig up all his early potatoes. Something had been in digging up all sorts and also his and everybody else’s broad beans were all diseased. Not a successful allotment at all.

In the afternoon Mal walked to the local allotment and cleared it all (with the help of his friend , ha ha). He just has to dig it now.

Torin called in the evening. He had the twins at his house so they could help him celebrate his birthday tomorrow and Scarlet had just been taken to hospital as she had another “episode”. The first since they gave her beta blockers. How upsetting as we were all hoping they had done the trick. We will have to see what the hospital say now. Scarlet and Jack were going to stay with us all next week, we will just wait and see what happens next.

We were up and out early. In fact the cockerel was crowing when we walked past.

It was drizzling a bit but Mal has discovered he has far more allotment than he first thought, so off he went to do some more clearing. He’ll have to work quickly so he can get some vegetables in, in time. I stayed home and more finding homes for our possessions.

Mal is thinking about joining the Parish Council. He has been asked but wonders if he will have the time. Some members have moved away and it is quite an important time for the village as Salvatori are moving out and a housing development is set to be built and the builders have agreed to keep the Parish council informed every step of the way.

We didn’t go to bed until 2am and I think we all felt a little sluggish. I ordered some ‘Mind Your Head’ signs from a lovely lady who has a stall at the Sunday market at Margate Old Town. She told me they were ready and so I went and collected them. They are really nice and she charged me £5 for each one!

We had arranged to spend the day at the Cherry Festival at Brogdale. We took Ellie for a walk first and then set off for Faversham. It was so busy. We had been in previous years if we were in the UK at the right time and it was very good. Not this year. There were so many people and too few food outlets and stalls and you had to queue for everything. I went to three stalls just to get a bottle of water, they had sold out! We couldn’t get near the cherry sampling, just queues everywhere. Violet queued for an hour just to get her face painted.They even had a cherry stone spitting contest!

Violet enjoyed it so that was the main thing!

Finally Violet managed to get her face painted! She turned into a dalmation.

We then dropped them off at Canterbury station for their journey back to London.

We collected Tris and Violet from the station. Violet had insisted that she bought a toy for Ellie to bring with her. She plays with Ellie all the time she is here. Later Dom and Jemma arrived so all out in the garden and we had a lovely afternoon/evening. BUT too much to drink!
