Saturday

It rained today, it rained all day.  That's the trouble with weather forecasts these days, they tend to be accurate, so when they say rain, they mean it!

I settled down this morning to watch the rugby, a great result for England, then went into town to meet Ann out.  The Mop was looking a bit of a wash out though some hardy (foolish?) People were using the scary rides, the stalls were not doing so well.

We had a spot of lunch in Pret then ventured home, arriving just in time to meet the tree men.  We had booked them for this afternoon to trim the conifers and give the quince tree a haircut. Luckily the rain had eased off a little so they didn't get too wet.

The row of conifers bordering our garden actually belong to the man next door, we are not allowed to take much off the top but the branches that grow on our side get a good trimming.  If we have to put up with them they might as well look tidy.
