Saturday

 Rather more cloud first thing 
More Cauliflowers going in - with helper dogs 
Scillonian III heading out past Shearwater II 
Some of the bunnies are getting very brave (or stubborn) and refusing to move when we bring the dogs into the field 
Almost all done !  The huge Canariensis Palm is almost up to the top of the house - with it's base right down at ground level 
Much brighter this afternoon and Jim mowed the lawn while the dogs played in the garden 
Maisie has decided that the Arum Lillies had to go 
The two smaller Hibiscus  are now flowering well 
Lots of yachts crossing the bay today
Spotted the Giant Thistles - must have been blown over but still managing to flower 

The White Agapanthus have been knocked down by wind or rain 

Montbretia are popping up everywhere 
Scillonian III arriving back on her earlier Saturday schedule 
The usual run about 
Lovely clear view out to the shipping lanes  showing Delphine on her usual trip from Zeebrugge to Dublin

    1. It's strange that Maisie doesn't really dig on the field - leaves that to the bunnies. but loves to dig in the raised beds under the shrubs. Pleased you got out to Waitrose - strange what feels like a treat nowadays. Think they should lock down the younger folk rather than us mature folk ! - we know how to behave. Sue

Have had to add the word verification as I am getting lots of obscene messages in the comments
