My clematis

This treasure was here when I moved in 17 years ago. I thought I’d killed it the first winter when I sliced through the stem. It’s stubborn. It’s still here.

A lovely swim started the day and, as it was swelteringly hot, I ran a couple of brief errands on my way home.

Since then I’ve been so lazy……watching Draper lose (he claims he was suffering from tonsillitis- I hope he’s sorted for Wimbledon).

But I think I’ve most enjoyed a gentle read…..
