After a cloudy start it really got hot! We sat in the garden with the dog, and a chicken joined us.

Busy day for us today! Bill has an early golf match. I’m waiting for the fitters to come to give us a new front door. I’ve already changed the bed and it’s been washed and on the line. Quick coffee in the garden then to feed the plants. Looks like another lovely day for all.

Tried growing runner beans for the first time this year. Tonight we ate the first of our little crop! They were delicious!! 😊

Happy Independence Day to my family in Texas. It’s also the day I started nursing many many years ago!!

Too hot to play, we’ll just laze around instead!

Sad day today. It’s my dear brother in laws funeral. A celebration of a life well lived.

It was a lovely celebratory funeral today for my brother in law. He would have loved it.

With my eldest Grandson, an amazing singer. Note Bill photo bombing behind us!

Feeling miserable today, son number 2 is heading back to Texas after the funeral.😒

Had an unexpected surprise yesterday afternoon…. My son in Texas had arranged for a lovely pedestal fan to be sent to us. How kind!

I know some people will think I am showing off but when you work hard you deserve to treat yourself. White was the only color they had, but it doesn’t matter. I’ve just purchased these four lawn chairs 😍

Sons and Daughters 1. Boys will be boys

Every night when I read in bed ❤️

Back to the farm today. And it’s quite a nice morning so far. Everyone have a nice weekend.😊

My carriage awaits ….😊

Up with the lark today as Bill is working. Dogs and chickens fed and I’m having a coffee. Today my sisters and a friend are coming to the farm for a tea party!! The weather is sunny but there is a nip in the air! Everyone have a good day!

Some people will never understand how much you can love a dog, and that's okay the dog knows

Morning all, have a lovely day. I’m off for an hour in the pool to get some exercise while Bill has 9 holes of golf.

It’s been a scorcher of a day and now we’ve just had rain. Everything is lovely and has that nice smell after rain.

My first job today is my least favourite! I’ve got a big box of apples to peel 😫. I want to make jars of apple chutney. Hoping Bill will help me!!🤣
