The photo of the garden I took this morning is to prove that we STILL have (in October!!!) Morning Glory in flower, as we have had since JUNE! so that it's been blooming during FIVE different months this year.
I took the back view of the present resident granddaughter because I have always liked to see ladies with loooooong hair. It reminds me of an incident in the nineteen sixties when the mini skirts were
(quite literally) at their height. An elderly Scottish friend of ours was having a moan about the matter :- "When I was a young man" he lamented,"all the lassies grew their hair until they could sit on it! and now they cannae sit on their skirts."
On our way home from Sudbury last week, we took a back road, and I was able to take the above photo of a thatched cottage just the far side of Kersey, which I've always liked the look of.

Hello Crowbard. Yes, you are quite right about the late Edwin, although I'm not sure you've put enough 'Rs' in his speech. But it was a good remark of his, and totally typical of the gentleman. Oddly enough I now buy most of my clobber from his grandson Matthew who keeps a gentleman's outfitting shop in Sudbury.
Warrrum rrrregarrrrds, yourrr brrrother Mike.
I used to have hair like that, the same colour too. A long time ago, though.
Hello Zoe. Good to hear from you. The grand daughter of whom we speak is, and looks, pure Swedish. She is pulling her weight about the place, too.
P.s. A small thatched old farmhouse might be a fairer description of the building; and the fact that it's set in an orchard, puts it high on my list of domestic desirability.
