I blame my mother-in-law. Since her house in Kyiv was almost hit by a ballistic missile – two nearby houses were destroyed – Tamara’s been back living with us. No more hotchpotch of chicken nuggets or pasta carbonara from Tesco. Now I’m living on a diet of grechka – a kind of buckwheat – beetroot and oladki – homemade pancakes. At the dinner table. No TV.
It’s Bank Holiday weekend providing plenty of opportunity for those not going away to get out in the garden. Let’s hope the weather is in our favour, as we have a great track record of disappointing weather over Bank Holidays! I’ve been busy in the garden trying to ensure it looks its very best for a large group from Winchelsea, visiting on Thursday. The booking was made much earlier in the year, before I knew I was having my knee replacement surgery in April! It is part of a combined visit with another garden in Seaford so I decided to go ahead with the visit. It will be relatively easy, as the group are having tea and cake in the other garden so I just have to let them in and talk about Driftwood. You can see I’ve tried pruning using a seat to rest my knee in the process. It was quite a successful approach!
