We spent a very pleasant hour wandering in the fields, tasting the oats and corn and saying hello to our neighbours who were out walking. It was great to be getting some exercise and enjoying the weather and I could feel all the stresses and strains melting away as we gazed up at the sky and the views all around us. There were quite a few helicopters about as today was the British Grand Prix at Silverstone and the aerial activity carried on for much of the day.
In the afternoon we ventured out to the garden centre with mum (much to Sophie's annoyance) and I bought a new trough for my tomato plants which have outgrown the pots I put them into. I also bought some mint as Keith loves it on new potatoes and with lamb. We stopped at mum's for a drink and it was bliss sitting on their patio and enjoying the warmth.
So, it's been a lovely day and I have a week off to look forward to! I've heard it's going to rain...after so long of praying for it, I can hardly complain can I??

My top tip for mint is to plant it into the ground in it's pot. I planted one once straight into the soil and it took over the whole herb patch. We are due rain over night, the ground really does need it.
Thank you - I've heard it can rampage through the borders so I'll probably put it into a tub! No rain here yet, just very grey...looks like I may have picked the wrong week to take off!!!
