Last week did not feel like like a good week but it wasn’t actually all that bad. It absolutely had it’s moments but some of those moments were pretty good.

I had three trips to the allotment. For watering and picking.

On Sunday, I had to face up to a summer with no tomatoes or aubergines. The aubergine just died and the tomato plants have blight. the courgettes remain prolific…

Sue and Richard came for dinner on Friday and it was so good to see them and catch up, they’ve had a tough year so far but it was lovely to just sit and talk and talk and talk!

I spent a large chunk of Saturday with the Baxters, the children were a delight and the elder one and I went off for a trip to the library, for ‘coffee’ and to the park, which hopefully left her good and exercised!

Ma came over on Saturday and helped on the allotment on Sunday, leading to this great example of mother-daughter conversation. And that is all the news that’s fit to print!
