Nineteen degrees at 9am. Changeable, but at least it's not raining.
In the garden following the storms, devastation reigns. The tomatoes are on their knees, the oleander have collapsed and the chickens are up to their knobblies in mud. The slugs are having a good feast on the courgettes, the basil, and the parsley, and the cuttings a very kind neighbour surprised us with last night are wilting in a bowl of water - planting yet to be scheduled.
And where's the gardener? In her eyrie... working on A Book for the first time in almost exactly five years.

Good luck in your book writing (and I hope your garden comes back to order too). You are a fabulous writer and take great pictures to go with your words.
