This and That

It is the middle of October, it has been warm and we have had some rain. The grass in the courtyard (sown two weeks ago) is two inches high in places and the back field has returned to green. I thought I would share with you our only splash of colour in the garden. The begonias shrivelled up to virtually nothing in the August heatwave and the ageratums are self set.

John is on a mission! Suddenly he's decided that we need to clear up, ie. he is sweeping up the mess he has created in the salon. The next thing I know boxes are appearing from the top loft and we are now spending our evenings sorting out family photos. This job was originally scheduled for 6 years ago!! However, he now needs old photographs for an "art work" he wants to do, so we leap into action.

Amongst the photos are lots of slides - remember that era - and we were going to issue an SOS to see if anyone had one of those mini viewers. Miraculously yesterday lunchtime a projector appeared; it belonged to his father and was found in one of the boxes.

The nicest part is to find that we once looked young, dare I say it, even quite glam in long dresses and exposing bits of flesh that were in the right place...... and did he look dishey with that long dark hair and moustache!! The moral of this story is never look back.
