I used to love going to The Lake District with Year 6 in their last term,so May time.
The Youth Hostel at Boot ,Eskdale.
Such fun , The Headteacher ,two teachers in the Juniors ,a volunteer and me, really from the Infants.
We visited Muncaster Castle, on one occasion we were walking to the house and an elderly chap walked past us, his little dog was not on a lead despite big signs saying dogs must be on leads at all times.
One lad,very politely said “ excuse me sir ,but dogs must be on leads at all times” “ Thank you ,young man, I shall bear that in mind”.
Later in the castle the same lad asked “ Who lives here.”
The guide said “ Lord Muncaster, you may have seen him ,he has just gone for a walk with his little terrier dog” ——- 🤭
Well after a cool damp start a nice day .
Finished off a small ham joint we had yesterday , well a bit left ,might do a chicken mushroom and ham pie for tomorrow.
Git rid of all the prunings from my attack on the Dogwood ,garden waste bin this week so it will all be gone soon.
I love the variegated leaves ,the white edges.
It was out of control though .
Moved a clump of Spiraea to a bare spot where my hollyhock,newly purchased ,had rust, so is in isolation.
I am wiping the leaves with witch hazel ,touch wood the new leaves have no signs yet.
Well, very late now ,so night night.
Viktoria.
