The washing should dry in the hour or so that I'm in, I don't think I'm brave/stupid enough to leave it drying while I'm out, mainly because I don't have a garden fence... although if someone really wants to pinch your washing they will anyway!

A garden fence is another thing that's on my list to organise so that I can garden up to the boundary without risking someone running over the plants, and also so that I can let Jasper out. The poppies and other flowers you can see in the border are down to the last tenant's mother, she's made it rather lovely.

It's so nice to have sunshine with a cool breeze, no flies (especially no black-fly) and not to have to think about ticks when walking Jasper.
