MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME

The bees were making up for lost time today, after the heavy rain. I like to walk around the garden in my bare feet on summer mornings - it felt more like paddling today. Pottering in the greenhouse at 6 am, then a swim with the VIP and I was ready for a wee nap by 12, but that doesnae work for a five year old!

Best bit of the day was our customary evening walk. He is a brilliant walking and talking companion. 'How does air get into houses?' 'How does air get into cars?' 'Why does water always flow down hill?' 'How do you pee in space?' Tonight I took him to the top of the hill to see the wall eating tree. That had him silenced for a while.
