The fruits/flowers/vegetables of his labours

 Jack came yesterday.  I had to go for a rest!

He sorted my vegetable plot and planted my winter broccoli.

We had the first few tomatoes with our bacon butties.

He brought vegetables in for me to use.

He checked the runner beans.

He's given me permission to pick my sweet peas. 

He brought me some roses from his garden.

He checked the roses in my garden and approved of the "Strulch" I bought earlier in the year.  I am allowed to buy more. 

He must have been in a good mood as he allowed me to keep my poppies.  

And he took a dozen savoury ducks home with him.

Hi July!

 

A whole new month!  

31 days of blessings!  

744 hours of possibilities!

44640 minutes to live!

And by the end of the month I will have lived through 2678400 more seconds.  

There are fun things on the horizon.

I think I'm going on a tour of an ice cream factory tomorrow.  I say "I think" because the factory hasn't conformed they can cope with us but I can't think of a better place to go in this weather.  

I'm booked to take services three Sundays.  The last Sunday of the month I am going to a farewell service for a local vicar who is moving on.  She has been really good and she will be missed. 

I'm going to a birthday lunch for a friends, a farewell lunch for the vicar I mentioned above and another meet-up lunch with a friend.

My car has its annual check and service which might not sound very interesting but I have a tradition of going to a nice hotel for breakfast with one of my cousins which is lovely.  

I'm hoping to get my Christmas cards made.  I've been hoping to do that since February!

But the month starts with a visit from Jack.  I have savoury ducks waiting for him and bacon butties are on the menu.
