Tuesday

Today we are going to lunch at The Compasses at Coggeshall.  Norma has booked it for the Christians Aware group.  Although we are not members its still nice to go out for lunch.  She has completed a sponsored walk around Mont Banc to raise money for Christians Aware - well done her!  It must have been exhausting.
Last night there was a thunderstorm and lightening.  I don't think Jasper was too happy about it - he can get in the house to shelter, although only as far as the kitchen.  Today it is still hot but now muggy.  Everything is going to grow like mad now - so watch out gardeners!
Two white hollyhocks are starting bloom outside the back door.  They look lovely.

Plus a few more photos of the garden.........

Just had an email from Christopher to say that William has had the operation on his tendon.  He is in a lot of pain but the surgeon said the operation went well.  Lindy is with him in Singapore which is good.
