Blooming marvellous!

The sunflower has flowered!

It must be over ten foot tall now and is at the highest point of the conservatory! If it had grown any bigger I would have had to have put it outside!

I can now cross this off my list!

1. Visit Saltaire near Bradford - a Victorian model village built by Sir Titus Salt for his mill workers. 
2. Drive to Berlin (maybe a bit dodgy this one but I'm going to persevere).
3. Visit a UK Christmas Market.
4. Walk through Dovedale in the Peak District.
5. Make a Christmas cake.
6. Write a short story - it's about time I got back into my writing.
7. Visit Coton Manor Gardens.
8. Climb at least one of the highest mountains in the UK - either Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis or Snowdon (hmmm...got to get that treadmill at the gym on a higher incline...)
9. Visit Portmeirion in Wales.
10. Ride one of the scarier roller coasters when we visit Florida, but NOT the Hulk!
11. Visit the National Gallery.
12. Read Wuthering Heights.
13. Grow a Sunflower from seed.

This week the days are all blurring into one. The warm sunny weather continues and tomorrow is supposed to be really hot again. The nights are certainly drawing in though, and it's dark at around 8pm now. Soon these sunny summer days will be a distant memory!
