Month: May 2020

Ellie and I were out early again to avoid the heat later on in the day. The ducks were still asleep but the squirrels weren’t. Ellie does love having a chase after them!

Lou and Rhys asked us round for a BBQ and seeing as restrictions are being eased from tomorrow, we went to see them, still distancing and no hugs!!

We had a really lovely afternoon, we have missed them all.

I went very early to get some shopping and Mal took Ellie for her walk, before it was too hot.

After lunch back to the allotment . We put the netting over the blackcurrant cage , watered and weeded. Ellie finds a place in the shade and sleeps.

Today I won the competition for the longest bindweed root!

Well we have to keep ourselves entertained somehow!

A slightly later walk as it wasn’t so hot. As we walked through the cemetery we were both saying we would have to take some shears round as the stones were getting over grown. On the way back from the walk DDC were there cutting all the grass. They must have heard us!

The ducklings are growing!

After lunch down to the allotment. The ground is like concrete, so I had to soak a big patch to sow more courgettes. Mal did a lot more weeding, my back is fed up with weeding!

Clapping outside with all the neighbours in the evening.

Ellie and I were up early and out walking to avoid the heat, along with a lot of other dog walkers.

I watered the roses I planted for Torin in the cemetery. One of them is in full bloom and the perfume is really lovely.

We then went to the allotment. I watered and Mal made a frame for the blackcurrants so they can be covered by netting.

So pleased to see Springwatch is back on our screens.

Ellie and I were up and out early so she had a cooler walk.

A cleaning day at home but Mal did go to the allotment for some watering.

I watched ‘Dogs with Incredible Jobs’ on the TV in the evening and thought that Ellie would make a good therapy dog. I will have to look into it. Well, she is good as my therapy dog!!

The sun rising wakes me in the morning. Ellie and I went out for a very early walk whilst most of Sandwich was sleeping. A lovely time of the day.

We refreshed the flowers at Torin’s grave and one of the rose bushes I planted has burst into bloom.

From there we walked along the river. Sleeping Sandwich…………..

On the way home my phone alarm went off to remind me we were driving to Letchworth Hall Hotel today, our half way stop on our way to Yorkshire for my big birthday celebration with Lou, Rhys, Ollie, Oscar and Josie. Of course, all cancelled but we are going to have an even better holiday when we are able to book things again.

As shops opened at 8am, I went shopping….amazing…..no queues so that was all very quick. No queue at Wilko either so I went in to buy some wine bottle corks. Easiest shop I have had since all this madness began!

Sadly people seem to have gone crazy today and friends tell me the beaches were packed and there were traffic jams getting into Margate. What is going on ? Has lockdown finished? I have a feeling Dominic Cummings has a lot to answer for. Mal and I went to the allotment to weed and water. It definitely needed the water.
