"The more one gardens, the more one learns; and the more one learns,
 the more one realises how little one knows."  
Vita Sackville-West A Joy of Gardening

An almost perfect day
The last few weeks and weekends have been very busy.  Today at last there was a day with nothing much to do.  The grass was cut, the ironing was done, there was nowhere I needed to be and nobody I needed to take anywhere.  I did not need to get up early.  I was able to laze in bed for a bit after having had the best nights sleep in a long time.  My youngest and I had breakfast at a cafe in the village, I had a very, very tasty Almond Croissant and he had a very, very large slice of chocolate cake.  We then had a little browse around the junk shop together, the first time he has been old enough to be trusted in a cluttered shop full of china.  It was very pleasant being able to rummage around with him.  He would now like for his birthday a Cash Register, a silver goblet and a picture of a black panther. Hmmm.  I spent the rest of the day in the garden sewing and listening to radio 4 over the internet.  I started of on the veranda but had to move down where there was more breeze to keep me cool.

 I was still out there sewing when Peter came home for tea.  He took this sneaky snap while I wasn't looking.  As usual catching me from a very unflattering angle.
