Front seasonal bed almost one month on (see 16th July). It's been a struggle but we've got there! Good mix of colour now and the antirrhinums really add height to the border (that was just sheer luck!).

Old Downtonian Cherie was over from Oz for a visit and treated us to a meal in the pub. Two other old Downtonians are her brother Bim and his wife, Sandra, here with their daughter Lisa.

Mike and Cherie were in the same class together at Downton school and their memories of old faces and names when we get the photos out is phenomenal!

Cherie, hope you had a good trip back and the next banana custard's on us!
