Escaped

This lovely tulip and its sisters escaped the attentions of the deer, being well-protected by a wire cage till the buds started to open. I wish I could remember what this is called, as I’d like to get more next year. They only last a couple of years.

It’s been lovely and hot - too hot to sit in the garden to read my book, as we have no shade till later in the day, Mr C having indulged in too much slashing and burning.

Ailie is coming to eat with us tonight. I’ve not seen her since she went on 1 January to NZ. We’ll have a lot to catch up on so i’ve Not asked anyone else.
