Is growing through the grass and borders, the leaves can be eaten in salad and the whole plant used in stews. The Tortoiseshell and Meadow Brown butterflies like it. Picked raspberries and blackcurrants, pleased to say the deer protection is working OK for the runner beans. A family of ducks walked across the lawn this morning, mother and six tiny ducks following on behind, a real surprise and lovely to watch. Luckily the cats were all asleep, Poppy especially would have been after them, she chased a baby squirrel up a tree later and had to be fed to divert her attention. A windy and sometimes overcast day, hot in the sun, cool in the cloud. If the forecast is right we’ll have 30* later this week.
