There are no great achievements to report for today.
A walk was taken with the dogs in the morning, and we seem to have settled on a route that is sufficient to take the edge off the dogs, and not be too extreme for 30%.*
Our walk takes us out of the house and up to the top of the hill. There, we leave the lane and turn left on to the footpath that runs along the ridge of the hill. The walk allows us to look back towards home and the church tower is visible in the distance. After about a quarter of a mile we cut through the hedge, and then retrace our steps, although on the other side of the hedge. This gives us a completely different view to the one on the outward leg of this short wander. We soon reach the lane again, and are back home within a few minutes.
After the walk, I headed out to the garden and made sure that the crops in the greenhouse and veg patch were watered. Apparently rain is forecast to come in for the next few days, so I am hoping that the ground will soon get a good drenching.
Having watered the fruit and veg,** I picked over the ripest fruit from the tomato vines and returned to the kitchen with about three pounds of tomatoes, ripened to perfection. I will admit to stuffing a few cherry toms in my mouth, as I wandered back to the house.
With yet another glut of tomatoes, my agenda was set for the day. I prepared another batch of cream of tomato soup, which was added to the cache in the freezer, as soon as it had cooled sufficiently.
