That moment The Wine Society (UK) think you’re up for a £182.50 bottle of wine 🍷 🤣
Familiar with Gaja as i work with their UK importer, but honestly the WS can whistle if I’m paying THAT much for wine, even if it’s undoubtedly lovely.

Despite living the other side of Saltash, was woken at 530am by the pervasive noise of a Search & Rescue Sikorsky S-92A slowly flying around Forder & River Lynher. Gave up sleep, took dog for 3+ mile walk, back to hang out washing & pick a bounty of beans. All before 8am. Probably need a nap later 😆

There you go- technically rock buns but ‘cake’ was shorter to write! Thx for the free hour. Couldn’t squeeze more juice into my EV - would it have credited an hour even if I didn’t need any for the EV battery? Managed to cut the grass, boil kettle, clean coffee machine & charge some devices too 👍🏻

Verbena bonariensis adds slender height with a pop of purple that stands out especially in the evening light. I have them all over the garden front and back, so much so I had to start giving away seedlings I’ve got so many!

I don’t have a cassette player any more and threw out pretty much everything in the last few years as a result. Yet I still have these two…!

As mornings go, it’s been fairly productive in the garden 🪴. Peas and beans planted in pots, some tidying and top dressing of others, and sown more salad seeds. I do love this time of year when various shades of green and pops of colour come out to brighten late spring #Cornwall #BloomScrolling

So there’s the white smoke everyone’s been anticipating. But who won The Traitors then? Was it a Faithful or a Traitor?!

Put my hand down on the sofa and my working cocker spaniel puts hers on top! I think she may have been angling after a belly rub but the spontaneity was touching. #dog #dogsofBlueSky

The weather gods smiled on crazy Daisy 🐕 and myself for our early Sunday morning walk. Managed to get a decent walk in before today’s rains set in. Trying to stop her chasing pipits 🐦 flitting across the playing fields very difficult but we’re getting there slowly. #cockerspaniel #dog #cornwall
