But not as wet as Corsica...floods after 500mm of rain.....
So an indoors day....Duolingo...now on tbe free version with ads.....I need to look for an alternative practice method...
Ironing, mending...starting to think what clothes are coming on the trip...so don't wear them now!!
Bubble wrap installed...
The rain started again as I drove north to the artists' group AGM..
Which started with "Nosecco"...non alcohol fizz!! an alcohol free apèro, with cheeses and crackers and oatcakes, figs, olives, tomatoes, wee stuffed peppers, grapes...and assorted meats for those who did...
finished off with a cheesecake using white chocolate to set it instead of gelatine and pomegranate "jewels" on top!!
A pleasant evening and job done!! A few things to change and hopefully two more 3D members if we can find ones that will fit into the team.
Then a wet and windy drive home.
I haven't driven in the dark for a long time!!

Sounds like some very good food.
I don't mind driving locally after dark, but hate it if I have to drive to Malvern flea when it it still pitch black. Worse still, I am meant to be babysitting for Tam after the clocks go back so the journey home will be totally night for that bendy mountain road . . . Dreading it.
A productive and enjoyable day despite the rain.
I have also been deciding on clothes to take on our trip and we don't even go until Christmas!
My brother is a newby gardener and I have just given him a greenhouse (that was fun taking it up to him in our van!) would you recommend he bubble wraps his now? He is Kirkcudbright way - not sure how much further north you are. His weather can be mild but with a fierce wind rattling through the hills
Driving in pelting rain and wind makes the ride tense. You did well and came home safely.
The food spread sounds excellent and made an enjoyable gathering for everyone.
I'm 50+ miles further North
I wouldn't bother if there are no plants in tbe greenhouse.
if there are you have to balance the insulation against loss of light....
I love rain but not too much, that's when it gets scary. your pumpkins look good, I've just transplated my seedlings into the vege garden, have a nice week.
That sounds like a feast I would crawl over hot gravel to get to right now - fresh and tasty.
it was, all the better for being shared
Hi GZ I'm learning French on Duolingo, beginners (rusty school stuff is surfacing though), so far tolerating the advertising as it is, to be fair, free to use but I don't find there is enough opportunity for me to practice spoken French on these lessons so will be interested to see any update if you find something more suitable. I would also like to refresh my British sign language, but that is probably harder to find. I hope you will be warm and safe during the storm coming over the UK. Betty
