While the sopranos were learning their part, I stepped out onto the balcony to catch a picture of a very lovely sailing boat.
Our Nelly Moser this year gets better and better.

The purple Irises and perennial Cornflowers are looking wonderful in the cottage garden border along with the pink and purple Granny’s Bonnets.

I planted up the Violas today and now our edible garden is fully planted. We had our first Lettuce leaves from here today and Basil on our salad yesterday. There are three Thyme plants, some Wild garlic, tiny Pea Shoots and some Borage, the lovely blue flowers of which are delightful in salads and in gin! The tiles at the back are Liberty gardening pictures that used to be in a fireplace in the house we lived in when I was five years old. 
The Libertia Grandiflora on our Cornish hedge attracts lots of bees.
I made a Chicken and Leek Pie for supper tonight. It was scrumptious!
