Cosmos

Shining white in the heat-wave sun.

The great thing about today was lunch: made with produce nearly all from the garden, including fabulous potato salad from International Kidney potatoes, which are apparently the same variety as Jersey Royals; pasta salad with broad beans and salad with tomatoes, courgettes and chillies with Lancashire cheese - not from the garden - we don't have any cows ;-). And for dessert there were strawberries, raspberries and gooseberries with cream, meringues and sponge fingers. I ate too much as most people did.

The afternoon was really hot and I was very glad to have to leave work early to bank our takings from our open day!
