Our Town, Tomatoes and New Chimney

We were in town late last night after seeing the film of the Matthew Bourne ballet, Sleeping Beauty, which was wonderful! Coming out of our lovely Art Deco theatre and with few people to distract, these beautiful buildings really stood out.

We have tomatoes, still to ripen but looking good.

Our new chimney is really beautiful, made with care and precision by Matt of Cornwall Chimneys. It’s the best chimney in our street! Thanks to Matt and Josh for their lovely work and brilliant clearing up. Photos by Matt.

Lead-work, Bricks and A Red Bloom

Our chimney is being rebuilt and today the lead-work arrived. What a piece of beautiful craftwork.

The builder took my camera up the scaffolding to show us how far they have got – such careful and skilful work. I’ll ask for a final photo as it is finished in the next day or two.

There are lovely poppies all over the garden.

Chimney Pots and Cake

We’ve been having work done on our chimney and these are the pots that are about to go up. They look like pepper pots and amuse me. The old ones, over a hundred years old have been leaking. Sadly, they won’t be any use for planting so won’t be joining my collection in the garden.

I made cake today! Orange and Almond and much enjoyed by the lovely Mr S.
