I’m a bit late with this month’s Happiness calendar which is focussing on resilience and jumping back up after a set back. Hope some of the suggestions work for you should you be needing them.
It’s our first season in the greenhouse and we have some small tomatoes some of which are beginning to ripen.
I made a coffee cake for tomorrow’s market in town and made a mini one for us.
We treated ourselves to a few delicious cherries today.
We have five apples on our family apple tree. 
There was such a wild and fierce gust of wind two weeks ago that it lifted our parasol, tipped the heavy wooden table on its side and bent the parasol as it landed. We are pleased with our new one that arrived today and will be sure not to leave it open when winds are expected!
Two views of Welly Dog for you today aka Tinners’ Hound by David Kemp, remarkable artist who died last month. You can read about him here in The Guardian obituary. If you are new to our Welly Dog and would like to know more, put Welly Dog into the search bar on the right and there are lots of lovely photos of our Welly Dog and the ones cast in bronze that are in Redruth town centre.
There is still no sign of a flower yet in the sink of seed bombs but most of the greenery is doing well, if a bit nibbled. I still don’t know what to expect. Anyone have any ideas from the leaves?
I love the delicacy of the verbascum flowers, cream with their purpley middles.
The rose we were given for our golden wedding anniversary almost nine years ago is giving us some delightful peachy/golden blooms.
