Up at semi Sparrows fart this morning to give the doggie a full walk around the Policies.

Is that view gorgeous or what?

When we have a ball Rubes is completely self contained – and by that I mean no lead or rope attached.


Flowering Yarrow in now abundant….. ….as is Red Valerian.

We also have a rare entry this year – Common Eyebright. There are only two clumps of this growing in the Paddock. Why I didn’t take a picture of these is beyond me.


The bell Heather is really out, with its really deep dark reddish purple flowers, and the Mint is still in leaf so hopefully we will get a more evenings to use some of this in a Pimms.
