Paints

Celebrating the Jubilee with a set of paints, managed not to smudge this for a couple of hours, and it filled up a few of the wrinkles. Groomed the donkeys and took them for a walk round the fencing in Laneside, they’re starting to make an impression on the hedge, it’s tall and wide after the hedge laying rejuvenated it a couple of years ago. A cloudy sunny day with a chilly wind, torrential rain and bright lightening filled the sky at midnight, no watering required tomorrow, hope the water butts are full.

Platinum Jubilee

The flags are flying for the weekend and the bunting is up on the stable. The Baker Arms has organised afternoon tea for tomorrow afternoon and there’s a garden party on Saturday in the field at the bottom of the hill, haven’t made a crown yet. Will take the corgi that started life as a prop in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and a picnic. A lovely sunny day with a cool breeze.
