Saturday started with a walk around the Three Miler with the dogs.
The weather is still dry and sunny, but the wind has changed and there was a cold breeze. I was glad I remembered a hat. I do feel the breeze on my scalp these days!
Today was never going to be particularly productive, as I was clay shooting in the early afternoon. I did manage to pop out and buy petrol for the lawn mowers and was amused to see a couple of people doing the same at the filling station. I guess the bank holiday weekend will resound with the roar of little petrol engines.
Shortly after lunch I headed over to the Cotswold Shooting Ground and met up with Bubbles and Ben. We had an amusing couple of hours shooting clays and my performance ranged from competent to appalling. I ended up with a score of 39/80. The score really didn't matter, we spent the time ribbing each other and winding down after a busy few days.*
Back at home, 30% and I headed up to the orchard in the afternoon. A Passiflora was relocated from the side of the house to the recently installed trellisses, and a Wisteria was planted at the foot of a tall and spindly apple tree.
Now we need to wait and see if they settle in, and start to grow.

* Busy for Bubbles & Ben. Actually, looking back at the week, I've been quite busy too.
