Can you tell what it is?? Looks slightly rude, or is that just me? And I think I've managed to capture some snail poo too - sorry, a bid giddy having had a morning cutting and sticking with the infants! It's a squash of course - they are doing brilliantly and we have hundreds. Normally we save them for the winter and they go rock hard and quite boring, but this year I hit upon the novel idea of eating them fresh - what a revelation! They are delicious, a bit like melons and can be chomped happily in stews, curries, risottos or just roasted. Note to my brother, not a renowned lover of squash, - they are delicious!!

Ferocious weather - gales, torrential rain and now a bit of sunshine too. We might go and see Planet of the Apes tonight, it's cinema kind of weather.

Note re yesterday's window - I wasn't being that intrusive! it wasn't a private house but a printer's window, albeit a very quirky one.
