It was cheering to see the flower-filled planters on our drive to Paddington Station this morning. The photo was taken at speed through the car windows!

I have shown you the sculpture of Perun, the Slavic Thunder God, as he has been developing next door. He is nearly ready to be taken to Slovakia and tonight a party was held in the front garden to wish him well and to send him off in style. Click on any photo for the essential detail. We are so lucky to have such fabulous neighbours!

There was Slavic soup, very tasty, and fabulous Strawberry Thunder Cake in his honour, all made by our lovely friend Shazz and all absolutely delicious.
