Summer spirits

Our tablet course finished yesterday. It was only for three sessions. Necessarily it was only a superficial look at things but nonetheless the Fox & I feel more confident about using our tablet for things other than playing games, enjoyable as that can be. Now we feel we may take our tablet on holiday to maybe write my blog there, to give you the freshness of my impressions. That is assuming we can get free wifi somewhere. It won’t be on the cruise where I seem to remember wifi access is extremely expensive.

Yesterday was also the day of my home help coming. We had a stroll in the garden. She loved the white lilac with its sweet smell. She enjoyed the wisteria scent too. She was stunned by the large pink clematis, asking if she could take a photo of it. Further up she could see the yellow poppies hiding in the midst of other plants On the way back she was stopped to smell the rowan blossoms, so frothy looking – smells fishy she thought, & she was right! She also went round to the walled garden area where the troilus, globe flower, brightened the dark shady corner with its golden balls.

 

The clematis

While she was here, the phone went. The usual friends we meet at the pub on Wednesday have invited us round to their place, to have a sit in their garden as it is so sunny at the moment.

All in all I’m feeling in good spirits. The sun always suits me better. The sun is bringing out all the colours in the garden as so many plants burst into flower. The Fox’s itches are easing for the moment, though whether that will last we’re less certain. We’ve been invited out by friends. What more can you ask for.
