Our local daughter called by at the weekend and brought us a beautiful bouquet of white roses and yellow carnations. I arranged them in a crystal glass vase and put them in the entrance hall where it's slightly cooler and where they should last longer. The yellow carnations will look pretty when they open. It's a lovely colour combination. Going around the garden I see that the white foxgloves are losing their flowers and going to seed. I cut off the top of a branch of one of them to put in the arrangement, but mostly I'll keep others in situ and will probably collect the dry seed heads.
We three had lunch together in a shady spot in the garden - pizza from a bakery, our plum cherry tomatoes and plenty of iced water. Mr P had his home made wine as we didn't intend to go anywhere.
Later we watched the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championship women's singles final match that Saturday afternoon and then the men's finals on the Sunday afternoon, both played to a high standard and very exciting. It was a relaxing weekend.
Today is going to be another hot day by UK standards. We shall continue to enjoy the good weather, the garden and leisurely interests. We're very thankful that we can do so in retirement. Shady places are the best places to be at the moment!
I hope you also had a good weekend. Speak again soon.
