I woke up this morning feeling a bit stiff, but basically fine. We agreed to work in the morning and then go for a late picnic at Sandwich Bay...we got there about 3 with a bag of snacks seized from the fridge (left over cake, tomatoes, smoked sprats and olives) and more things acquired from Asda: red wine, lemon and lime, crisps, taramasalata, houmous, nuts, apples. It was a very nice picnic - apart from the wind... which seems to be a feature of Sandwich Bay picnics. There was no swimming. We came home and sat in the garden and the sun came out again.
The garden is looking lovely - although I am still annoyed about all the flowers that have been eaten by slugs and snails. More snail killer has been purchased. The red crab apple is flowering, as are the apple and the quince. There are some black tulips, and some mini yellow ones, I am looking forward to the small white alliums coming out and mixing with the purple and puce geraniums. I hope this year there will be more late summer/autumn flowering plants.
