Family flowers

The family brought a beautiful bouquet of flowers when they visited on Sunday, such a joy. It is mainly white chrysanthemums and these lovely apricot roses.
Warm day today. I pottered in the garden, literally, as I cleared away pots that will not survive the winter. Meanwhile Normous was blowing leaves. How he hates leaves! He gets rather grumpy.
Two policemen knocked on our door this afternoon. They were quick to tell us there was nothing to worry about. They were questioning from house to house to see if we could help about a shooting ten days ago. We couldn't of course, but we helped them fill in forms that maybe will give an over all picture of the neighbourhood. Ours is a large village, town size but village atmosphere, and nothing much happens generally. However there is one estate where we never venture and it was here that the incident occurred.
