First...

... sweet pea flower of the year with added rain drops. They have come on this week, clearly enjoying the warmth and the rain. The rain has interrupted garden projects for now, although the new rose was planted this afternoon, without the fence behind it being painted. That's a job that will have to wait. 

This morning there was a trip into town and a visit to the favourite shop with a purchase or two, although not both mine. And then home via two supermarkets.  We are off up the coast tomorrow with fingers crossed that the forecast for dry weather is correct.
