All change

My step daughter, husband, and of course little Thomas left for the UK yesterday so it's all quiet here for the moment. The temperature has dropped, the skies have darkened and we have had moments of driving rain. The farmers baled the hay just in time and our veg plots and fruit trees which you can just see here are thriving now with the warmth we have had and the wet. It's forecast to be sunny and hot again tomorrow and Ramesh my Indian colleague and good friend arrives to be with us for the coming week.
