Today we celebrate not having anything to celebrate!

Instead of being the last day of Lockdown it’s the day before the ‘rest’ of Lockdown!

Instead, let’s celebrate the future – apples …

… and tomatoes in abundance we hope!

The day started dry

No sun in evidence. But no rain in evidence until early evening.

Petals continue to fall, and an unexpected invitation to a barbecue was a perfect end to the day


It rained overnight and for much of the morning.

The rose tree was well and truly battered.

Grey skies all day, but a dry afternoon.

Sent a stack of granny squares to Wiltshire as part of a communal gift for a birthday next week.

Rain returned in the evening but, as you can see from the last two colours above .. the temperatures didn’t drop.

The sun rose in a stunning blue sky.

The Philadelphus slowly flowers

And an Iris blooms in an unexpected colour!

Petals fall like confetti – forecast rain will bring more to earth.

And another square heads towards the bag for the lockdown blanket!
