Sunshine.

It's been a lovely sunny day today with just enough breeze to dry the washing I put out on the line.

 

I've had quite a 'domestic' day, baked a Bara Brith, stewed more apples for the freezer and turned the leftover vegetables and sauce into a thick soup/sauce. Adding the vegetables to the spare ribs and then Peter adding a lot of water meant that the ribs were not exactly the barbecue spare ribs I had been expecting but the meat was beautifully tender. Next time I'll know to do the veg separately.

With such a sunny day I ended up spending the afternoon working in the garden and have made a good start at reducing the width of the escallonia hedge between us and the neighbours. I'd like to go back at least a foot which means removing 18 inches to allow for the regrowth.

As I snipped away happily I heard the strains of an accordion playing something 'folky' and sure enough when I looked there on the slipway was a group of Morris dancers. A bit earlier I'd heard and seen a helicopter leaving the village. The person who owns that blue house (as a holiday home) lands his helicopter in the back garden.
