Peaceful morning

A cloudy morning, but improving as the day went on. Spent a couple of hours this morning fixing tall canes to the deck fence where I'd placed six large pots yesterday. In the absence of an allotment this year I'm having to grow my runner beans at home. My extra today.

Needed some more compost, so drove down to Poppies before lunch. Our back road out to the main road was very busy as drivers use it as a short cut to avoid driving through the town centre and being mostly single track meant a lot of stopping and reversing. Something bad going on, obviously! 

Lot of queueing traffic coming down into town - it turned out that there was (yet another!) burst water main in the centre of town. I'd obviously chosen a bad time to go out!

Picked up three bags of compost and noticed a swan enjoying itself in the calm water - my Blip today.

Most of the afternoon spent in the garden - beautifully sunny as the afternoon wore on.

Quote of the Day: 'The swan in the pool is singing, And up and down doth he steer, And, singing gently ever, Dips under the water clear.' - Heinrich Heine.
