Another beautiful, hot sunny day.

We went to Taverham garden centre for more parts for the garden watering system, lawn shears and 2 gooseberry plants to occupy our empty pots. Peter made further improvements to the irrigation system and rearranged the patio plants. There is more room around the patio table and the plants make a better display.

I then finished the kimchi & left it to ferment for 2 weeks, pottered in the garden & went to Sainsburys for salad. After some bike riding it was time for more pottering in the garden before our first barbecue: mackerel with salad and new potatoes.

Alice and Chris paid us a social distancing visit to pick up a couple of things & seemed in good spirits. Friday was work a.m. then Peter and I went for an enjoyable circular walk to Queens Hill. Saturday was a very wet day so a good opportunity for some housework and tidying. An early visit to Sainsburys was fruitful; no queue and yielded 2 bags of flour! I made a victoria sandwich cake.

We have particularly enjoyed the sunshine on the back of the house in the afternoon and the seamlees transition from lounge to patio. This reached new heights yesterday when I was able to sunbathe in the lounge! The...

 Friday 4th June. Overcast and a little cooler. 9 a.m Off for a pre-booked appointment to get 2 new rear tyres fitted. All done by 9.22. Good service! Aldi then home. Made tomato sauce and garlic mushrooms for tomorrow. Peter added some more to the irrigation system. New TV delivered by John Lewis. Peter was busy setting it up. Old TV collected 30 mins later, en route to Romania! Made sourdough for the pizzas. (Peter made the starter). My first encounter with sourdough (apart from eating it!). Rain started but we had a quick walk round the block. Home made spicy bean and tomato soup with sourdough. Watched the new TV!
