Tuesday 30th July

Today I got cold and wet - it rained, nearly all day.

Which was an unfamiliar sensation after the last week or so.

Still, that means a break from watering the garden. We have been harvesting tomatoes - so far at least half a dozen. Oh my word, so sweet, so juicy, such flavour, such fragrance...

I did have a sunflower growing in among the spinach plants in one of the vegetable tubs, but along with the vicious rain there were fierce gusts of wind, which caused the sunflower to break off just a few inches from the soil. So that's that.

I'm adding this book to my wish list... I'm not sure if the title is a promise or a challenge.
