Today's the day!

It's here already, today it's officially summer. I rather tentitively peeked out the curtains this morning and was pleasantly surprised by a not bad day - it's (so far!) not raining and when I let Meg out there was no icey blast. Not bad at all.

News in brief -the barn is still in bits, the ground is still too wet to dig foundations or plough, but progress will be made today when I uproot the strawberries and move them out the way ready for the muck spreading, fertilizing etc. after which they will be rehomed in a lushous bed ready to produce a bumper crop.

This year I'm hoping for more of this



and less of this




Yes, that was our car last summer, if you can call it that, flash floods and all.

How DO you drive that thing with the wheel way over there?????

Oh. Is that shoe floating? On dear. The wheel is fine then. It's the water that's the problem. My bad.

Yes that's Bear's trainer floating in the front footwell after we got caught in a flashflood last summer. Me on my own with two autistic kids and no signal onmy phone - not my favourite moment!

We have already had some flooding in my neck of the wood. My friend's house is still surrounded by sand bags.

Does your car still run?

Robin it was filled with water to the bottom of the windows and was written off.
