Mixed bag

So the days roll on, one into the next...

The weather is still rather mixed but our plantations are doing well, with potatoes, tomatoes and green beans to add to the earlier list. Promise to get photos on before too long.

I try to be at La Paillote for 10 am when Matt opens the doors to anyone fancying a coffee (or indeed anything stronger). I often help him set up the terrace if the forecast isn't too bad, then disappear into my 'office' to record the previous day's takings and check invoices, delivery notes etc. You can see the parasol in my 'office' - the sun through the skylight can be so bright that I can't make out the computer screen. Creek your head and you've a great view of the sea.

Our Mancunian friends have arrived and, despite being loaded up, they managed 4 packs of Shreddies for me which were lovingly transported home in the bike's paniers today. It's great to see H&J again and even better to think they're here through 'til September.

The land adjacent to ours has recently been sold (for mega-bucks I might add) and it's good that it will be looked after as our dreaded mare's-tail weeds are prolific in there. There's another piece of land for sale nearby where I snapped these wild flowers the other day.
