Day 30-THE END!

Day 30 in 30 days/30 things is-

Whatever tickles your fancy.

This is the last day in the challenge and I can do whatever I want today! I will tell you about what we have done recently and whats happening this week.

The hydrangea is looking really good at the moment

This week is going to be busy. Hubby is in work today but he's off the rest of the week. We have a friend and her two girls coming for afternoon tea on Wednesday but the rest of the week we have a 'job' to do.

We have to clear out the garage ready for the builders to come and knock it down! I need to also tidy the loft a bit so as I say busy, busy, busy.

Then on Friday we are going to........

......London for the night, I am so excited. We are going to the Imperial War Museum to see the Ministry of Food exhibition. We don't have anything else planned. Last time we went we did far too much and we were so tired because we tried to squeeze in too much.

The roses in the photos were some we had to pot up from the front garden. They have never flowers so well!.

This one starts as the palest pink buds.

The herbs have gone to seed but they still look good to me.

 So the garden is looking after itself at the moment and sort of doing OK. We went for a walk yesterday.

We have had an awful lot of rain in July after a hot May and June. The reservoirs are starting to fill up again.

We drove over to see the old bridge which crosses the River Ryburn near the A58.

Because the Baitings Reservoir is so low the old bridge has been exposed.

I love the way the layers of mud show up in different colours.

There was some lovely wild flowers near the bridge too.

I love these umbellifers type of flowers.

They are very fashionable at the moment too.

Then it was home to tackle those damsons.

I decided to just spend the time getting the pulp from them. After they have been washed I place them in two large pans with some water and boil gently.

Then they are squished through a sieve and the pulp is caught in a bowl.

I will mix some of it with some blackberries and make a crumble for tonight and the rest I will make into jam.
