Another summer warm day here but with an annoying wind blowing all the time, ok it is warm but the wind never seem to calm down any more. We’ll have one more nice day before the arctic winds return again. This time it looks as at least the nights will be warmer so they don’t predict any frost thankfully. We were out on our morning walk quite early today and I hoped we might see any of the badgers or our fox but instead we barely saw anything, just a few roe deer far away 🙂

I haven’t done especially much today, I’ve sort of done everything in the garden that had to be done and it is still too early to start the mower (thankfully 🙂 ). I have watered everything newly planted and the few plants in the greenhouse and actually for once don’t have anything else to plant 🙂 At least three of the five Quince trees (Cydonia oblonga) has survived winter which I doubted they would do since they aren’t that hardy. Big parts have frozen but I can see new leafs growing, one Apricot seems totally dead but the rest has survived.

I had a little coffee break when the ice cream lorry came down the road, so I had coffee and ice cream during that little break 🙂 Today is a holiday here, The Workers day. Back in the day lots of people were out demonstrating and listened to left side politicians talking about workers rights and what they would want to do to make it even better. Now days, since most people know that politicians never do what they say, not even the left side, people just have it as a day to barbecue, go to the countryside or just relax. Back in the days they even showed it all live on tv, now they show some of it in the news but that’s it. That’s what happens when politicians more care about power than actually care about their voters.

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day and I will of course enjoy an ice cream at the same time. I’ll take another little walk around the garden to see if I’ve missed something and after that who knows what to do, perhaps read a book?

Cherry plum flower. I really hope the night frost stays away so I can see the first plums this year 🙂

Nanking cherry flowers.

Sulphur wood anemone. It is a natural hybrid between the white and yellow wood anemone. Sterile but spreads with its roots instead.

Have a great day!
