At last the garden is taking shape, albeit from above a one eyed alien is the shape! More flowers and less lawn but still room to put up the badminton net for guests to play and send the shuttlecocks into the yew hedge.  Dahlias and cosmos looking really good and the sweet peas smell heavenly, we just want some sunshine to warm us all up!

Harvested the blackcurrants from the allotment along with the gooseberries and a few raspberries so now the jam cupboard is looking like it will get us through winter breakfasts with tastes of summer fruit.
