The Blackberries are ripening up
Here they are - delicious bulbous berries, that fall apart in your hands. I did my long walk, and collected berries on the way. I see the berries every day, and was amazed that someone had been collecting before me. I picked above dog wee height and away from the nettles. One sting only. They will become blackberry tarts tomorrow (Martha and Katy's choice).
Celebration
I know I am turning into my Granny, but I want to celebrate Andy Murray's success at Wimbledon, so I have bought the Wimbledon set of stamps. I also discovered in Herm, that there has been a recent set of covers with pictures of Herm on them. Last night, I framed them both.
Dehydrator
I have looked at the dehydrator, but have not ordered it yet. I will order it when I have talked to Helen. I have ordered a cook book with recipes in it that I can use.
Martha and Katy are at Dave's mum's
We have talked plenty on the phone, and they are both having a good time. Today, they have been shopping in Liverpool. Katy has a pair of new crocs, and is excited about this. They went to see Uncle Paul at Mellow Mellow, had a good time, but left to eat at Subway. They helped make a sign that said GF on it, which they thought meant Good Food; but no, it means Gluten Free - ideal for me!
Today
I had a sleep after my walk and blackberry hunt. I then enjoyed pottering around my bedroom. I have cleared and cleaned my desk, in tray and organised my stationery. Bit by bit, my room is taking good shape. My next job is to put my key papers into filing cabinet.
An old friend of mine from Trafford came round. It was great to see her, and her son, Finlay, who is moving into year 1. I know we will keep in touch. Thanks for the lift, Hannah.
At Dave's house
I am going to watch Louise compete in her first triathalon, tomorrow morning. Louise and I are staying at Dave's for the night, so that she can get an early start. For me, it means that I can get out to watch her swim in the quays, by walking from Dave's.
Have a great day everyone
lots of love
