Something to believe in.

My garden blackbirds.

I'm finding it hard to sleep at the moment - the heat and the full  moon.

So I got up early this morning and by 8am I had made a batch of flapjacks, roasted a tray of garlic and basil  tomatoes, done a load of hand washing and caught up with my emails. By 9am I felt ready to go    back to bed.

I didn't  of course  - it's Thursday - market day and the first new potatoes have arrived which I can't resist. A dear friend comes to tea but it's far too hot to sit outside. She takes medicinal cannabis for some health issues. I didn't realise you can now buy it across the counter without a prescription.

But now my early start has caught up with me. And I will be up early again tomorrow as my buyers are having the building survey done of the house. I know they will say there is damp and the timbers should be treated for woodworm. But it's a Victorian house and you can't really expect anything less.

I read this quote, attributed to Audrey Hepburn, today.

To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.

I need something to believe in.....the garden seems a good place to start.
