It has been nice having bro here for a few days....he is off for some camping on his motorbike, so I'm getting on with things...
And I have my first aubergine!!
It is still quite warm in the greenhouse, so the tomatoes are ripening ok. Outside the weather is odd...showery and sometimes a really cold breeze....I go to town on the bus, wrapped up for our weather....and arrive in town ten miles away and 400 feet lower...and I'm decidedly over dressed!!
I managed to mow the grass yesterday, and mulched the leeks and a patch of bare earth as well as feeding the compost bin...but the rain came before I could use my new implement....a strimmer!! I had an old one, but on inspection the head was mangled...and nothing of that make available in the DiY store....and it was cheaper to buy a whole new one. Thanks to bro for helping me decide which one.
Today I took the picture that I bought in France to get a frame....but the farmer was closed.....Ayr races weekend plus bank holiday Monday, so quite a few places were closed for a long weekend.
Change of plans ...time to research travel to France....a combination of flying to Paris and Flixbus from there. Then I enquired at the station as travel agents don't do rail fares....even with a senior Railcard the single fare is £84...and it goes up in the new year....add on the cost of London to Paris....and across Paris... That ruled out train travel!!
I wonder if there might be a vacancy for a potter somewhere.....??!!
And tonight's sunset....
