Nice sunny day again, 20c and blue sky. Yesterday ended up the same, and got my front trees pruned and grass done late afternoon, after a very hectic day, but at least the end of summer (I like to use the astrological definition,as William’s birthday is the 21st June and Tamzin’s 21st September, so his marks the start, hers the end) is nice.

I do like autumn, but not the price I just paid for the heating oil delivery I am expecting today - £1.07 a litre, my first order not long after we moved in (7 years ago yesterday) was 33.75p per litre! That’s the Putin and Trump effect for you…
