Well that's another weekend almost over with again, where does the time go? Managed to get out and do the lawns again, a necessary but rather irritating chore as I hate gardening. It's been pretty wet lately at the weekends and I don't need much of an excuse not to get out there but the downside is with all the rain the damn grass grows for England and so when I do finally get out there it involves more traipsing back and forth to the wheelie bin to empty the grass collector. Still it's done now and I feel better for knowing it'll look passable for another couple of weeks!
After doing the indoor chores like washing and ordering this month's provisions I've finally updated the website with some holiday snaps from LAST year - yeah I know how lazy am I and some other odds and sods. Thought as this year's summer break is looming I had better post some photos of last year's excursion to Ilfracombe. This year we're going stay home and go out for days given that we are hosting a 21st birthday bash for Julia this Autumn. Besides there are some great places locally to visit that we still haven't been to since Julia passed her driving test so now's the time to do that and James is coming out with us again this year and now he also has a set of wheels to his name they can share the driving! I've collected a whole handful of leaflets from the stand at work and so all we need to do is compile a list of places to visit, Groombridge Place Gardens being fairly near the top of that list as Julia and I used to go on the bus when she was younger and so it will be nice to go under our own steam so to speak. Knowing what the weather is usually like over our summer breaks we need to have some indoor plan B's at the ready and I'd like to visit a garden or two just for the sheer pleasure of snapping some wonderful foliage. We've booked a weekend away to visit Longleat Safari Park too and right at the start of our break falls the Kent County Show which I just love so that will be a good way to kick off :-)
