The slugs have found my lovely bargain Dahlia.
Between them and the greenfly that have decimated my Lupins, this is a very insect heavy garden this year. Last nights torrential rain washed a lot of the greenfly off, but this morning they were all climbing up the plant pot like teeny tiny mountaineers to get back to their free feast. There seems to be a real dearth of ladybirds this year, but then the weather is very random isn't it.
Someone shared their photo of our main High Street in the late evening, on the local Facebook group last week. It's very atmospheric with the moody blue sky isn't it. The bunting goes up every year the week before the Children's Festival, which is the main event here in Spring and remains for quite a while so all the holiday makers can enjoy the atmosphere.
It makes the town look very pretty.
Alan asked me to do another updated walk through of the bungalow now that the first fix electrics have been completed, so here it is for posterity. It's coming along nicely. This week Alan is doing lots of little jobs as we have no builders or trades in. He's enjoying having a bit of a lie in each day with no pressure to get there early to let everyone in. It's been a bit like being back at work for him just recently, having lots of 8am starts while he works alongside the tradesmen.
Next week things will move forward again as the outside of the bungalow and the garage is being rendered in brilliant white,. It's going to look fantastic with our new anthracite grey window frames and the green 'front' door, which along with the French doors in the main room, will also be installed.
