A very old Norfolk farm in a dream location. very old established garden. The farmer is also a horse breeder so he showed us round his stables and the 11 horses he has at the moement. We will do the rest tomorrow. ours is a linear village so it has been great to meet so many people and contacts. Its the first time we have done it and has been a great success. The temprature has gone up again today to over 28C. i dont know about feeding your cat but my dogs are barking after all that walking today. Enjoyed the tour location, must take my boat to Monte. Mrs N is showing some of her paintings at a near by village next Saturday its their village " open day " so all sorts going on. we came to Norfolk for a rest but it is not quite working out that way. Family over the following week.and theother part the week after.Phew. We visited 5 gardens today, one turned out to be a 3 mile round trip to a distant farm.

We had a brief storm a couple of days ago and it's a bit cooler here now as well, but I'm still on garden watering duties. Enjoy your gardens, Mrs B has been visiting a few around Saint Tropez / Cannes this week while I've been here feeding the cat. Seems fair.

It would appear that the nuclear power stations that are inland use river water to cool the plant. this has become too warm to cool, and the power stations have to be shut down. The temp in my part of Norfolk ahs been arround 27C, but it has dropped today to about 24C. we have had some welcome rain for the crops and gardens. My village has open gardens this week end so there are about 11 private gardens to visit. Looking forward to the tour it is on ITV4.
