Few things make me happier than staying at a Landmark Trust property in London on my birthday! Staying in Cloth Fair was very special.

Before I knew it. Melon. Grown from seed on my allotment.
Are you partial to melon? Do let me know.
You may need some tips on how to live longer. Perhaps try these from 1821?couchman.substack.com/p/how-…

C. S. Lewis introduced The Chronicles of Narnia with a message to his goddaughter:

My latest purchase. An engaging read.
Have you read this book already? Does it look interesting? Do let me know.
A late summer trip to my allotment just now revealed all of these beauties.
Which would be your favourite? And any suggestions on what to do with my harvest?
Do let me know.

All guesses welcome.

I may have gone slightly overboard with my flower planting this year but may I share today’s informal arrangement with you?
Sweet peas, ranunculus, roses & scabious fight for your attention.
Do any of these appeal to you? Do let me know.
