Despite....

The weather forecast stating an 86% chance of rain around bedtime on Friday, none fell.

I watered my rhubarb well on Saturday and picked it Sunday morning. There was 2lb for the freezer and 1/2lb for the weekend. We have previously had about 1lb off it in this, it’s second year. Later on, it will be divided and replanted into raised bed 2 to become a new fruit bed.

Finally managed to get to Brancaster. Ruby had a paddle, we got soaked by her on recall, many people stopped to say hello to her. She nearly got rolled over in a wavelet when she rolled over to have a tummy rub, daft dog, she looked so surprised!

She needed hosing down to rid her of sand. A right struggle but we prevailed. She is now getting hot and bothered in the back garden, chasing cabbage white butterflies and their shadows. In these temperatures, if I was wearing a fur coat, I certainly wouldn’t be running around!

  1. We got very excited when it started to rain Friday evening but it lasted about one minute so glad I had watered the garden after all. Fun to have Ruby on the beach.
