You'd be forgiven for thinking we'd been away for twelve months if you'd seen the state of our lawn yesterday when we arrived back from twelve days in the UK.
It took a couple of hours yesterday and all this morning to get it something like back into shape. The flower borders were no less of a chore and the potager.... well, let's just say we've obviously been missed!
However, there were some consolations. The tomatoes are now ripening at an alarming rate...
One of the pear trees is struggling under the weight of its fruit and it will be a few weeks before they are ready to be picked..
And looking out to the field at the side of the house, we can't help but be cheered...
Must make time to "stand and stare"... but oh, those weeds....
