FIELDS

We walk this way two or three times a week, but I never fail to tire of the changing landscape, especially at this time of the year. On the other side of the glen, tractors were leaving lovely lines in the fields as they cut the silage, but it was too far away to capture even with the zoom, so I went for this pretty copse instead. The Professor joined me today - first time for a week as he has been poorly. Mind you, he is quite pleased with himself to have suffered from the same illness as the D of E. - a right royal pain, you might say!

The walk was a brief interlude in a day of gardening - so much to do at this time of year, especially as we leave for holiday on Thursday. I completed the fruit cage for the rasps today, sorted th luer for the raspberry beetle, put up supports for the garden and sweet peas, planted lots of salads and veg to go in when the first lot of tatties come out, etc, etc. I am even beginning to make an impact on the number of plants that are queued up waiting to be planted out before we go. We are also eating a lot of our own veg already, mainly lettuce and spinach, but more to come soon.
