In celebration of the sunshine, I took some photos of the garden flowers. It felt so good to be outside!

 

The fruit and veggies are doing well too, they’ve been well watered!

It’s amazing what can be grown in the smallest vegetable garden; just a raised bed and a few boxes!

The fruit is ripening, with all the rain, how can that be? It’s doing ok though.

 

Bottom right is a mulberry, the blackbirds have had most of them.

We’ve been making wine and jam and eating fresh from the garden. The rhubarb wine is bottled, the plum wine is underway, plum jam in jars. It’s all very Good Life round here at the moment.

 

The good weather meant Ziggy had a proper walk.

I started quite wrapped up, not expecting it to be warm.

Then had to remove the outer layer, it was almost hot, oh yes, summer is here…for today.

 

The photographer was feeling quite chipper too!

What about the rest of the week then?

I’ve been sewing, making jewellery, eating some gorgeous veggie fare (summer’s so good for that).

Visited the library, visited friends, read and listened to music, did ta’i chi, bought some clothes (second hand from ebay, I’m wearing one of them, the dress, in the dog walk photos).

Watched the entire latest season of RuPaul’s drag race (I’m addicted), bought tickets to see Jinkx Monsoon (5th season winner of Drag race).

Now binge watching season 2 of The Bridge (seen 1 and 3 and missed 2!).

Whatever you’re doing, have a lovely weekend, starting tomorrow because it’s Friday after all!
