I had an early start today and drove through the mountains to to and keep Rosie amused whilst Tam caught up with lots of jobs that needed doing but were impossible to tackle with a busy toddler underfoot. We had a lovely day, and Rosie was a hoot. She has now learned the meaning of "no" from her viewpoint, and when asked if she wanted a drink, said "no" firmly; "do you want this top on now?" "NO!". Here she is deciding that the avocado she normally goes wild for, was NOT what she wanted for lunch today . . .
Title for the photo has to be, "Really?!" Later on Tam had a very late lunch and it turned out THAT was what really wanted (not given because it might be too salty for her) - gnocchi with thinly sliced sausage and spinach. She liked THAT!
On the way back I stopped at B&M Bargains for a new storage box as one had got broken. I also popped in Charlies, and bought a yellow Lupin, really well grown, for just £4.99. I have some I have grown from seed but they aren't very big yet. I took Tam three and one is putting out a flower already. We transplanted them straight away into bigger pots - I took her half a dozen of the ones I bought at auction recently.
My usual pull in for a photo captured this view.
Right, time to wash my hair as the pollen was very bad today and my strong antihistamine only just holding it at bay. It will be all over my face and hair from driving along with the window open as it was so hot. Farmers making hay all round Aberystwyth too.
Love that photo of Rosie..a perfect caption!!
ReplyDeleteOr - "And WHAT do you call THIS?"!!
ReplyDeleteYour new header is gorgeous, you should do a painting! Darling Rosie, she is so expressive.
ReplyDeleteI looked up what I think is your weather, looks very hot in the next few days-and the foxgloves look so dry? [reread they're not in your own garden tho] Do you water the garden if it's hot, or just hope for rain.
I took several - this one shows Lulu and Alfie and a bit of the garden beyond. I must get the gardener round to do the lawn again - it shot up after last week's rain and this week's sun.
DeleteI water everything in pots and if the weather continues hot, try to do the driest bits. I use washing up water as I don't want to put too much strain on our water supply. The foxgloves in the photo were at the edge of the layby, and survive as best they can. I imagine their roots go down a fair way.
I love her pointy finger and stern expression, clearly NOT amused! What a darling x
ReplyDeleteI know - not a happy bunny! She just LOVED the gnocchi, spinach and sausage though.
