Before and after

[flick]

I've also been taking advantage of the Aga being back on to grill some courgette slices to go in the fridge and make some courgette goop.

It's mostly been raining here, today, just what the grass needs. I even put a jumper on for a little while this morning: bliss! I am a bit concerned about the wind, though. I've already picked up one blown-over tomato plant on the patio, and I had to do a lot of re-tying in the polytunnel last night, so we've closed it up for the first time in months.

GB's celebrating high summer by finally getting rid of his winter coat. I expect he'll start growing a new one in a couple of weeks.
