Usually we go out for lunch on a Wednesday, but yesterday I had to stay at home. I was expecting a parcel, which I was told that I would have to sign for ......... but when the parcel was delivered, I didn't need to sign, and it would have been left in the garage for me if I had gone out. Most annoying! So instead, we went out for lunch today. It was a lovely day for a drive through our wonderful countryside
we went to Pirn House, which of course means that I had the French toast with bacon and maple syrup ...... and Malcolm decided to have it to
back home, I had a potter round the garden with the camera. I don't know what has been wrong with the clematis this year. Only one of them flowered when it normally does, and we now have two flowering which should have flowered weeks ago
and this one has yet to flower
we have had a lot of bees in the garden this summer ....... this was a big fat hairy one on the herb pot this afternoon
the exceptionally warm weather of the last few days has brought out great clouds of tiny flies. We are going to have some very well-fed spiders if they eat all these little flies caught in webs all round the garden
the warm weather has also meant that the butterflies have been busy on the buddleiia
I have finished one of the two little Linus quilts - I just have a bit of the binding left to hand-stitch on the other one
this afternoon I made two sheepie cushion covers. The first one was with the fun fabric I bought last week
the second one was with the much more sophisticated fabric which Maureen gave me
and I am sure that Anna will enjoy these photos of the real thing!
to finish ....... taking scenic photos through the windscreen doesn't always go to plan - especially when your driver whizzes round a bend, and you lose your balance and lean to the side, resulting in this!
