16 July 2023

What a contrast – we’ve gone from Scorcio! with blistering temperatures to Non-Scorcio! with grey skies, wind and, on occasion, lashings of rain. Hey ho, it’s good for the garden they tell me.

It’s been another one of those busy, busy weeks. An outing to the circus last Sunday, a Garden Club expedition to a magnificent local garden, a spell of child minding and oodles of time and energy expended getting ready for the sometimes, occasional Moreton Pinkney Open Gardens later today. Drop in if you get the chance.

Well, what a great few days! We had some extra special, VIP visitors which inevitably necessitated a couple of outings including last Sunday’s baseball game in London as well as a family get-together with lots of fun activities – badminton and Jessica’s performance of the piece she is singing (solo) at her annual show. And, the weather was grand!

No news this week – sorry/you’re welcome. We have our very good friends the Boyntons visiting and we’ve been busy, busy, busy. We’re off as I speak to the MLB in London game. It’s not Dodger Stadium and it is certainly not Fenway but the Olympic Stadium is as good a place as many to watch some baseball on a hot, sunny Sunday afternoon.

And, we’re back again. I hope you enjoyed your week off as much as we did. We had a splendid weekend with friends on the south coast, a sweltering visit to a very impressive National Trust property, a great meal out and an excellent and highly amusing evening’s entertainment at the Brighton Dome. What more could anyone want?

A very busy, almost hectic, week! Weather’s been good, especially at the end of the week when we’ve had lovely blue skies, sunshine and moderately decent temperatures. There is one individual in our household who does occasionally “complain” about how hot it is. And, just to be clear, that’s neither Daisy nor me.

What a great week it’s been! Some very pleasantly decent weather – largely sunny with reasonable temperatures – a garden club outing as well as a musical interlude and, today, birthdays galore! As usual, I’m not sure I can stand the pace. Thankfully, the hammock has been erected in its summer place in the orchard and, I can assure you, it is still as comfortable as ever.

It’s been a decent enough week – a fair bit of sunshine and tolerably respectable temperatures. We’ve even had the bi-fold doors and skylights open a couple of times. Lovely.

And, we’re back! Again. Having successfully avoided (most of) the coronation – a couple of doddering, tipsy old-age pensioners at a fancy dress party. Taking the piss. Utterly pointless.

I told you we would be away this weekend – so what are you hanging around here for? We’re off in the Campervan hiding somewhere in deepest, darkest East Sussex hoping to avoid all potential for contagion from the King’s coronation. A 15th/16th century institution pretending to have some relevance to the 21st century.
