Month: June 2020

I had to go shopping for picnic food for the following day. I couldn’t believe it, no queue at Tesco. I guess they are all round the clothes shops now that they are open!

I did the housework in the afternoon and Mal went to the allotments to weed and he brought back some soft fruit for our dessert. Delicious.

I took Ellie out very early again. The house next to the cemetery has a seagull nest behind their chimney. It is there every year and the chicks are now moving around quite a bit.

The town is ready for the shops to open!

We went to the allotment in the morning but by 12.30, it was too hot and we came home. I watered my allotment and Mal watered his but I think everyone else was doing the same as the water pressure was really low. Even the grape vine is doing well! We were told it was dead but a bit of TLC and it is looking good.

Thought for the Day – “There are four very important words in life: love, honesty, truth, respect. Without these in your life, you have nothing.

We counted seven ducklings as we walked along the river. I think they will have to get used to far more people walking along there.

We had a lovely afternoon and BBQ with Lou and Rhys and family. Tariq was still there but returned to camp late afternoon.

I went shopping, a shortish queue at Tesco, so not too bad. On the way home I delivered a present to Jackie, our Red Hat Queen. It is her and Chris’s Golden Wedding today. I left it on the step, knocked on the door, jumped back in the car, shouted Happy Anniversary and left. This really is crazy!

In the afternoon we went to the allotment. Things are now racing along. I had to do all the watering. My favourite is runner beans so hoping for a bumper crop. We have had so many broad beans, wonderful.

We watched the last Springwatch, I shall really miss it now it has finished. I wonder why they don’t have a Summer watch?

Thought for the Day – “One day at a time is all we should be dealing with. We can’t go back to yesterday and we can’t control tomorrow, so live for today.”

We went to Wickhambreaux for a change as it was really nice weather. We often walked here when we lived in Preston. Ellie was just like a puppy running in and out of the water. We have seen an improvement with her movement now we are giving her  “senior” dog food.

It is so quiet down by the river and we didn’t see a soul! We just sat by the river edge. It was so peaceful. There were so many dragon flies down there, such a lovely colour blue.

I think we chose the best part of the day to walk, as it rained in the afternoon, so we sat in the conservatory.

My Blue Moon rose has flowered. I have had it three years and this is the first and looks like the only bloom and it doesn’t look very blue to me! Mal said it is obviously named because it only flowers once in a blue moon!

It was under threat of being dug up if it didn’t flower this summer!

We watched Thursday nights Springwatch, so we have one left! I will be sad that it is going to finish.

Rhys has been painting doors for us and returned another one this morning and took a replacement. At distance of course again but I am feeling no one else is doing this distance thing from their family! If only we had proper guidelines instead of being told one thing and then it has all changed.

We walked Ellie along the river.

In the afternoon I tidied the garden and Mal went to the allotment for more weeding……never ending! Mal brought the first strawberries back with him. Delicious.

Good news today, the zoos are allowed to open from next Monday. We are annual pass holders at both Howletts and Wingham Wildlife. You now have to book for both but at Wingham Wildlife you have to pay an additional fee.
