Lupins
We planted some lupins a few years ago. Last year they got nibbled by muntjac deer. They have just come out. I hope we have better luck this year!
GDPR Rubbish
It seems that every other email is about GDPR and even some of these are "dodgy". Yes, we all know data privacy is important, but this is taking political correctness to new heights, or is it depths?
Surely we want just a simple rule that says each person has to give express, clear, permission for any data held about them to be passed on. If data is currently held people cannot pass it on. Simple. No doubt some Brussels bureaucrats have to translate this into 27 languages at our expense too. Jobs for the boys.
GDPR = Great Deal of PRoper crap!

Begonias
In the warm May sunshine, we planted begonias this afternoon. These last all summer and need very little attention. They give lots of colour.
There are a few more to do tomorrow.
Last year my wife bought busy lizzies by mistake. They also looked good.

Local museum
Our granddaughter earlier today at our local museum playing with a hoola hoop. Years ago, these were all the rage.
We are blessed with having probably the best local UK museum (complete with windmill) just over the garden wall.

Cheese
As we were going to a funeral in Nottingham we stayed in Southwell (just to the east) at the "Saracen's Head". Everyone we met in Southwell was kind, helpful and welcoming. The photo shows my cheese course on Wednesday evening.

Dandelions
These are considered weeds, but the flowers (yellow) and dandelion clocks (seeds) are actually quite beautiful.

Bowcombe Creek
We did a short walk here last week. It is in S.Devon, not far from Kingsbridge. Even with the tide out and the mud showing it is a beautiful area. As we walked, the tide started to come in.
