Unpacked......

....the cases today and all the washing and ironing done, thanks to the beautiful weather.  Grass cut and the pots are back in place having been sheltering under the plum tree in our absence. 

Most other holiday essentials have been put away and all souvenirs have arrived home intact. My Olympia fir cone sits well beside the Japanese kokedama and will serve as a reminder of the amazing visit we made. My extra shows me receiving my 'laurel' wreath crown....for surviving the 41 degree temperatures that day....scorching heat!
