We did not expect it to last that long, and I had secretly been hoping for a nice long walk or hike in the afternoon, but when I understood it wasn't going to happen, I went with the flow and enjoyed the day as being very different from what our Sundays usually are like. And we still managed a walk in the beautiful evening light, which was very welcome after the day spent sitting on garden chairs :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-68451592711448632912021-06-22T22:38:23.297+02:002021-06-22T22:38:23.297+02:00These are really delightful summer pictures.

Growing one's own fruit, veg and herbs is an additional benefit but for many not the main motivation.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-90559965030950886982021-06-22T12:04:45.794+02:002021-06-22T12:04:45.794+02:00Thank you - all is good!Thank you - all is good!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-64860756457460185912021-06-22T12:04:29.667+02:002021-06-22T12:04:29.667+02:00I might use the poppy photo for a calendar; I usua...I might use the poppy photo for a calendar; I usually have photo calendars printed for friends and family as Christmas presents.<br /><br />All went well with my doctor, see my reply to Mary above :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-8618988607214300722021-06-22T12:03:29.173+02:002021-06-22T12:03:29.173+02:00Thank you, Jeanie.

Many allotments here are purely for crop growing, well they were when I had one. When I stayed in Germany and walked around and saw what people have built on their allotments it's been impressive. <br />All the best with your eye operation.

So beautiful. A happy picture. Love all the wildflowers. <br /><br />Glad you and O.K. were able to gather with friends for the 'all day' breakfast. Clearly, you all had much to talk about after all this time apart.<br /><br />Hoping you have good news when you see your doctor. As you said, even if not fully restored (and I gather this was not the expectation), the results so far are a vast improvement, so that is good news. May your recovery continue to go well.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587652444835060129noreply@blogger.com
