This Jasmine looks beautiful and smells heavenly. It is growing luxuriously in a corner of the garden . However ,it is growing out of the wall and I can’t see where on earth it’s getting it’s sustenance from . It’s a complete mystery but each year it seems to grow bigger and better .

We have felt like we are on holiday today and had a lovely country walk on the far side of Pendle, starting from a very quaint place called Downham where the series “Born and Bred “
Was filmed . I’ve never watched it , maybe I should look it up .

Before heading out for our walk we went in search of a place , suggested by a friend , that is run by a guy who converts VW vans into camper vans . We are looking in the knowledge that prices are rocketing and camper vans are in short supply.
The guy no longer operates the business from there but we stumbled across another business run by three very pleasant chaps and by the end of the conversation we may well have found something that would suit us which is within our budget . A small motor home rather than a camper van , a two berth auto trail motor home . Quite elderly , 2005 but with low mileage. They will have it ready to be looked at within the week , probably the following Sunday . Quite unexpected, and not what we were originally looking for but we both had a good feeling about it . It put a spring in our step !
