Hubby has to be able to cope with a normal Saturday if he’s going back to work soon, so we decided on a drive to the National Trust estate at Wimpole with the dog. The teenager took Dad and dog around the estate while I pottered about in the Walled garden.

At all times of the year there are always loads blooms among the vegetables and I was able to take a lot of photos of flowers which as you know is one of my favourite things to do. In fact I told my other half it’s on my wish list to get another camera so I can really improve my photography and I was even talking to a random stranger about the benefits of a phone camera versus a good slr (are they still referred as that?) and I was assured that I could still use my phone and have good results.

Well you can let me know!

We had a late lunch when the walkers returned telling me how well R behaved. She was keen to be reunited with me however trying to jump one of the walls that separated the house gardens from the sheep in the meadow.
