We found a very reasonably priced plant stall this morning (actually the nursery is at Longhorsley) when we were mooching round the farmer's market, so we bought a few hardy perennials to fill the gaps in the beds.
Strangely, Charles was quite insistent on purchasing a eucalytus. I say 'strangely' because we have had a couple of these plants in the past, and he moaned like mad at me when I bought them because he said they would grow too big for our garden. Seems he's forgotten that. (I can't actually recall why we haven't got them anymore either. I can't remember them dying or us digging them up. Very strange!)
The weather's been pretty near perfect again today. As Charles said earlier, we've had the best weather of the holiday during the last week. I don't think he's really looking forward to the start of term, in fact I overheard him asking Lily and Rose if they are going to miss him next week!! Clearly going for the sympathy vote from them!
