I did breakfast for four guests this morning in two sittings as two folks didn't get in til about 6.00 am.  I bumped into the guy about 10.30 am  when he was heading for the bathroom and he asked how late we served breakfast "til now" says I  ;D  That made em shift.  They'd have you hanging about all flippin day  ;D

Need to get to plot today to pick the broken glass up from my ruined greenhouse door.  There's no glass in it at all now.  The only glass in it was that in the door.  Grrrr  ;D

In Kent today - nephews 6th birthday party.  Fancy dress - Halloween style!  Will take photos and post later.

Bright in Essex, thick wet mist in Kent.  Got up early and filled a big mixing bowl with chillis from the greenhouse.  4 aubergines and 3 tomatos!  Still lots to come.

Tonight, fish and chips and a bottle of red.  Perfect!

Have a nice Saturday everyone.

We seem to have a 'diary' running!     Well its sunny one minute up here in the Scot. Borders and then drops of rain with clouds and then sun again.  I need it to be dry!!!!  because my blooming washing machine has broken down again.   Thought it was fixed on Thurs. apparently not, so I am left with dripping washing and OHs huge golf jersey being hand washed and dripped outside.   How did we manage before Washing machines.  I don't have an old fashioned wringer now and got out of the way of hand wringing clothes.  COMET here we come, soon,  in an hour even.

Managed to get to the allotment this morning. My friend and I managed to get some weeding done and I planted some garlic, grown this year.  The sun did it's best to shine and for a little while it did.  After about an hour we brewed a cup of tea ( flask of hot water, fresh milk and tea bags)  this is the life.  Doesn't get much better than this does it folks.

Tomorrow we are off to an Apple Day somewhere in YORK. http://www.yorkshireorchards.co.uk/

I hope it's a dry day.

It started raining just as I was packing up this afternoon, but at least I got some digging done, and I've disposed of the last remains of one of my soil piles.
