Le weekend
Spent Saturday morning shopping, generally unsuccessfully, and the afternoon gardening. There is so much work to be done there this autumn. Definitely going to be a chain saw massacre on some the trees. They all seem to have grown suddenly, and the ones near the house will need a little trimming back. Then the graveyard has some dead elms which should come down. Looks like the wood store will be full for the winter.
R wants to replace the Pampas grass with some butterfly friendly plant. G must have overheard what I said about setting it on fire and roasting the hedgehogs living in it, because he sent R an article on hedgehog friendly gardening.
Sunday went to M&D for lunch and tea. Had a leg of lamb this time, roasted and not BBQed. Very good indeed. Also picked up our 25th wedding anniversary present. A lovely Ann Blockley painting and a silver topped jar with a bee in the decoration. As we left it started pouring with rain, expected a bad journey home, but luckily it all cleared up on the M40.
