Still the sun keeps on shining! When the sun goes down this evening I'll need to get the hose out to water all my plants! That reminds me - I meant to drive down to the Corran Halls to water the new planting! Maybe I still should. 
 
Car's MOT next month so I drove down to KwikFit to have the front tyres checked - they're close to the end. They agreed, so I booked in for 1.30 for a couple of new ones. We're away for a few days in October so can't be too careful. 
 
I had an hour to kill, so I walked back to my favourite bramble hedge and picked another three pounds. Mrs M thought she'd made enough apple and bramble jelly, but then a friend gave her another load of apples so it seemed sensible to make some more. This is definitely the last, though there are still plenty of brambles to be had!
 
I didn't take any pictures today, so when I got home I cut a stem of my absolutely all-time favourite hydrangea, Hydrangea macrophylla 'Zorro', a lovely lacecap with beautiful blue flowers and near black stems, my Blip today. I knew that ‘Zorro’ was a fictional vigilante character, but didn’t realise that it was Spanish for ‘fox’! I have two plants in the drive bed, but they’re rather hidden behind other shrubs, so I think I’ll move one of them to make a backdrop to my favourite red-hot poker, Kniphofia rooperi.  (I’ve just realised that I Blipped this combination years ago from Arduaine!)
