3rd June 2008

Weather has turned from great to wet at the minute. Very heavy rain currently with heavy, grey skies and no real sign of any improvement soon. So it must be June. It hits the ground and brings out the dreaded midge once again. We had not had any bother till now. After the recent dry weather the moisture is welcome but perhaps not so much of it. Still the plants are growing amazingly well and within weeks the bare world of winter that allowed me to see all the garden through the bare branches has been replaced by impenetrable green walls. It is so thick and closed in parts that I have to push through and almost one could feel that as I push past the branches I could well end up coming out in Narnia. (well can't come out here again.)

I'm growing some veg in the glasshouse and it looks a little chaotic in there at the minute. This is a space 8'x6' so must remember to take a photograph so you can see. Currently reading about Stonehenge in National Geographic so enjoy the picture. Don't bother with the web site as no pictures on there I could see. Have a good week.

Ps Had to take Nick to the emergency room (again) on Sunday...torn ligament from his tennis match on Saturday. Luckily not too much damage done...well may be to his pride, but the injury should heal within 6-8 weeks.
