 5th July

Well look!

The spike flowered!

and it was absolutely wonderful. The scent was a gentle lily of the valley and it  quietly filled the room.

I found myself talking to it quite often (!!) appreciating every moment because it only lasts a day!

What a treat it was and there is another spike developing.

We had our Club Championship over the weekend and yours truly came second by two shots! It was a lot of fun and we were really lucky with the weather because thunder storms had been forecast but we were in sunshine mostly though the usual fresh breeze.

The pathways are still a delight of colour.

When I've been home I have been spoilt for sport to watch... Tour de France on the little screen on the left; golf on my laptop and tennis on the TV.

That's been fun - and I believe football has also been on too?

Our Covid rates in Cornwall seem to be levelling off, still above UK average and of concern to us, but the government is determined to lift all restrictions soon so we will have to deal with the fall-out ourselves.

Keith has remained fine and has felt frustrated about the isolation needed because of the Track and Trace ping when there is no way of knowing exactly what caused the alert or when. I believe the government is planning to ditch everything at the end of the month and try to persuade people that we are now through it.

We'll see.
