We found our first Clematis flower today, Miss Batemen, I think, but the label has disappeared. 
I planted up my birthday present planter at the weekend and already there’s a Petunia bloom.
Over the wet weekend we almost finished our latest (borrowed) jigsaw, Marketplace in France, and completed it today. This one has been a lots of fun to do.

We found it in Hayle at the end of last year, in a charming ‘junk’ shop. I fell in love with it and we bought it for my birthday present. I’m even more pleased with it now that it’s planted up. 🙂
