Going up

No idea how this snail is managing to negotiate the trellis as it climbs up the wall!

Managed a couple of hours in the 'yard this morning, mainly planting out violas and tidying, before the rain started. And did it rain! Absolutely torrential for much of the afternoon! Had hoped it would ease up a little before I needed to go out to drop off a couple of documents at the estate agent's and to buy a couple of things from the local shop. But it didn't, and for the second day running I got soaked.

Baking this evening, a tangy lemon drizzle cake, one of MrM's favourites. It will happily cool in the tin overnight.

Having wrecked the economy with her mini-budget, Liz Truss seems to have gone into hiding. Maybe she's borrowed Boris's fridge...
