Thank you for your kind comments after my last blog post. I'm glad to say that the members of our family who were ill are better now. Our local daughter and the rest of the family have helped us from afar by keeping in regular touch. Recently our daughter M who lives locally was able to visit us once more and gave us a beautiful bouquet of roses and lilies. It was our 58th wedding anniversary last month so I arranged the flowers in a vase and placed them near a favourite photo of Mr P and I relaxing in the garden which had been taken by our granddaughter.
The weather is a lot cooler now in the UK and there have been frequent rain showers, but in other European countries and in the United States I understand that extreme weather conditions have caused problems of drought and wild fires. It must be very worrying to be living in such conditions.
I took a walk in the park and saw the patches of wild flowers that the park staff had sown near the library and rose garden earlier in the year.
In our own front garden the row of sunflowers grown by Mr P from seed have all done well. There have been rain storms and strong winds, but they've survived.......
