The Prodigal Son Returns

Well Dash our cat sat on our fence briefly.

Until we had Milo - the dog, we had two cats, Dash and Archibald.

When he moved in, they moved out to a neighbour. We see them occasionally and Dash sometimes comes for a sleepover.

In the afternoon we went to Longstock Water Gardens. The gardens are on the Leckford estate owned by the John Lewis Partnership .

The gardens are open on the first and third Sunday of each month between April - September for a charity - today it was Key Changes - a professional comprehensive music therapy service.

The gardens were breathtaking and I took lots of photos - today's blip was nearly 3 duck bottoms in the air or the mother duck with 12 babies.

If you are in the Stockbridge, Hampshire area, I highly recommend a visit

After the gardens we went to the Longstock Garden Centre for tea and cake provided by a local charity. I had tea and Lemon drizzle cake - it was yummy.

We've also bought a Hawthorne tree for the garden. Planting it will be a job for next weekend

Have a good week everyone
