Sitting in a noisy room with Sky news on a muted screen. I have watched Kanye West walk out of a building and get in a car about 600 times, reminding me why I don’t watch Sky news. Brainwashing at its finest!!

7.00am Berkshire skies. 'Mares tails and wispy trails'. I hope your day is just as spectacular.

A lone poppy. The oak dripping in acorns. The commemorative garden.

Discovered that the pond is almost dry. Sunflower bud and pumpkins swelling though one slightly oddly shaped.

Sunflowers now over 6ft tall and in bud. Onions harvested and carrots fattening up nicely for the children's return.

Night night all. Watching the stars emerge is a great August pastime. The comfort of a warm evening outside, the cameraderie of a thousand insects all wanting a bite of the action, courtesy of your arms and legs. What could be better. Farewell and adieu until the morning. xx

The heavens are a panoply of stars only ruined by the light from my keyboard. In August and February we are looking into the heart of our galaxy, it is magical. Please do it.
