Soft fruit bonanza.

Still picking strawberries and raspberries.

Leaving the currants for next week when there will be helpers.

Red currants.

Rose currants.

And white currants.
One of the jobs today was levelling the entrance to the field so we can park RosieMay there and also a caravan next week.


Also dug the first potatoes.

And finally a little drop of rain.

A wet day.

No it wasn't! We were promised twenty four hours of rain and to watch out for flooding. Not a drop fell. I had arranged to do some work at Glyncoed as it would be wet so nothing got done here.
This is what twenty four hours of rain looks like.

Cutting the grass before the onslaught.

The weather that is, not the visitors.



Flowers around the pond

A relaxing day in the pool.

Ah. It's not a pool it's a pond. Still, much cooler in the water.

Weekend away

We went to Mid Wales for a weekend - yes I know we live in Mid Wales but this was North Mid Wales.

Pick your own.

Today was a fruit picking day.
Strawberries, raspberries, red currants and black currants.











There are still white currants and rose currants to pick.

Summertime.

The field has been cut for hay but our meadow will be left till all the wild flowers have set seed.


A good crop of potatoes - which is odd because I didn't plant potatoes in this bed this year! Must be ones I missed when digging out the crop last year.


Weeding - before on the right and after on the left.

Harvest is starting.

A weekend trip down memory lane.

Along by the river to the new canal.





To Edge Common.









To Chavenage House.





And visiting Abbi, Steph and Tessa.
Happy days.

It is definitely summer.

Hot, hot.
Making paths to the swings through the jungle.


Flowers galore.


And the dragonflies are out and about.

Cement work around the new bed.

Still working on the flowerbed

But I have also done the lawns so no slacking.

Progress on the other flowerbed.

Concrete foundation.


Strawberries - for us not squirrels.

And then there were five...

Flowerbeds

Top dressed with chicken manure.



Starting on the next one .



The young squirrels are not shy!
