yesterday ended up being a lovely day.. its nearly a year since the dog..little Em started to be poorly and finally had to have an operation.. she is increasingly bewildered if she were human she would have quite serious dementia..but she can still go little walks but now has to stay on the lead all the time or she will just go off and then stop and not know where she is or where you are....she will stop suddenly and just stare into the distance and refuse to move...she has done that crossing the road more than once...but she still knows who we are just about...but has to be led to her food dish and her bed at times.....but she remains a happy little Emlette...and as long as she is happy so are we

today is the day of the village fete...naturally its over cast..and not forcast to be as warm as yesterday...but I guess that is good for the fell runners ...even if its not so good for the rest of us I wonder how much we will make from our sale of cakes/jams/chutneys this year daughter and I are opening up our house for the duration of the fete..to our friends to use bathroom and to partake in sandwhiches and sausage rolls etc ...cups of tea and coffee too and a sit down after arduious duties on the field

rain rain rain...but not at all cold or even chilly have things to do today...but at least the rain will ensure I don't just sit out side in the garden the yellow lupin is in fact a tree lupin from a cutting given to me by an exdaughter in law..this year it has thrieved so much so I shall have to take at least 4cuttings to pass on to others...I keep it in a tub..so that it can get individual treatment..and not pass on the greenfly it appears to be suseptable to.. to too many other plants

and good morning to you TOE....although its nearly noon am just time wasting waiting for my transport what are these lovely flowers? blue gerainiums...they grow in clusters...its a most beautiful blue Cheffy..actually I took the photo in bright sunshine which is always a mistake as the sun bleeds out the real colour....the deep blue of the flopwer furthest away is nearest to the colour they actually are sunny but windy morning due to stay fine all day... my friend arrives tomorrow for a couple of days from Welsh Wales..then I am going back with her and my daughter will pick me up either weekend or when ever she has time...so am looking forward to that
