Church-sitting this morning, when a chap rode his bike from Charter Avenue and was pleased to find the church open to visitors. I gave him a quick tour then chatted to the lady and gentleman tending the Canadian Jewish airman's grave from the First World War. And a few minutes with to Kristy and Jenefer in the new garden. Home for lunch.
The front porch has been great throughout the summer with spider plants spawning like there was no tomorrow. But earlier this week I realised something had to be done for spiders had taken up residence (and I guess that's why they are called spider plants). The plants were looking more than a little tired. At 2pm I started work - clearing the old plants and polishing windows and shelves. I had some baby spider plants starting growing in the greenhouse in Vermiculite, so they came into the porch together with just two of the original spider plants. Then the Amaryllis in the water jar which I planted up a week or so ago - in good time for Christmas flowering - was moved from the dining room to the porch. But there were spaces that needed filling.
B & Q are good for plants but you have to search out the lively ones. Home with some bright reds, mauves and greens, re-potting in the greenhouse and all was done and dusted at 6.30pm.
I think it will be two boiled eggs for supper this evening and a shower - and an early night.
