| St Micheal's Mount has looked enchanting from our garden for the last few mornings as we basked in proper summer sunshine |
 |
| and a gorgeous day leads to a wonderful sunset |
 |
| and that in turn leads to a crisp clear morning with the heat still hanging in the courtyards form the evening before. |
 |
| a little spider had been busy at the table that I sat and enjoyed the warm evening only a few short hours ago |
 |
| Another day, another sunset from our garden |
 |
| I added a little table and chair to a quiet corner that should be in the shade as the day goes on |

| Looking across the bay and down to the village of course from our garden |
Has anything happened since I last wrote our blog? Well the sleepy rhythm of the country side has moved along - the crickets have begun to sing into the night and with a roll of the dice we had the sort of summer days i remember from ooh only a couple of years ago of bright blue skies and infinite blue seas....and promptly retired to the shade complaining of the heat! Walking along our lane today i noticed that the corn has started to turn colour but don't bring autumn yet it is far too soon!!

ReplyDeleteYes it is a nice light set that is easy to carry between the garden room and my "new" shady corner - i bought them at the end of last Summer. We've eaten our supper there some evenings, with the candles lit and so have a couple of our guests on other evenings - I don't know where the days have gone this year but for sure i wont catch up with myself!! Glad your year is going to plan and the rain?! well perhps we coudl do without it for a while!! Take care Christine and Charles
ReplyDeleteSending happy felis thoughts to your little piece of heaven from my little piece of heaven....
ReplyDeleteWell, it's been stop/go repeatedly here during harvest but only about 70 acres left to combine; still lots of sudden wet patches in the fields as we travel... leftovers from all the rain; but the corn is totally ripe so we have to go quickly slowly! the cutters on the combine chavel the wiry weather greened stems and cause the cutter end bolt to shear....£21.50 a time! ....5 so far and the local 'tractor shop' tell me they've sold more cutter bolts this year than in the last 20! In normal years the straw is pale coloured and crisper and cuts easily. Moan over.
The kitchen garden is producing good crops of beans, tomatoes and carrots etc., and the lawns shoot up as soon as you turn your back. Our doglets are in harvest mode and spend much time snoozing and directing operations from the comfort of the tractor spare seat.
Hope you are all enjoying the summer and business is brisk. After the wonderful Olympics we all need a hol to recover!! Crack on!

Thanks Pats - i do love your updates of life of a grain farm although I fear our whole form would fit into one of your fields!! Hope that all of the corn is now safely in with the weather challenge we are having this year. I've noticed the big lorries of straw starting to arrive along the A 30 and though the proper harvest was afoot. Straw has been hard to find for the horses beds just lately but managed to get a precious bale for the young horse that is training at the moment. Ah well on with the blog now Christinex
