Hollyhocks!

These stables and barns have been unused for several years but every summer this patch of hollyhocks battle their way through the brambles and nettles to make a splash of colour in an otherwise derelict site. So, how come I've never had success with them in my garden?! Harrumph!!

The physio worked his magic on my tendon again and he says I don't have to go back for four weeks now. I have to keep doing the exercises and slowly increase the length of walks. (Not Nordic for a while yet though.)
I walked the dogs down the lane and back - just under a mile - and my ankle just started to twang for the last 10metres. Not great is it?! Oh well, slowly but surely..

Blip wouldn't load yesterday - so trying again this morning!! :-/
