Good afternoon, all. Thoughts for E and yourself, Jen ....
Quite nice this morning (showery now) so walked up the river path to the pharmacy for the monthly repeat prescriptions. There seems to have been quite a lot of erosion of the banks over the last month or so; undercutting during the inevitable fast flow after the heavy rains of late, I suspect (and I'm not sure but there's a small dam upstream at Gasper which I think they have to "release" every now and then when the lake behind gets full). Small beer, I know, we're not talking about Whaley Bridge or Ladybower here
, but anyway, the footpath has subsided and the fencing posts toppled, so a bit of shoring up work needs to be done. Shame, as the country park area has just received a Green Flag award. Also, the cost of it goes on the town council rates
!
As the summer seems to be over, we decided to harvest our tomato crop just before lunch. The return, from 13 plants, was as follows:
Tomatoes (red) : 2
Tomatoes (green) : approaching 100 (!), 1.6kg in weight
I hope you did better, Meriad!
Anyway, it looks like Bramley apple and tomato chutney-making on Sunday and Monday ....
Have a good day!
