Wednesday 09 September - supplementary

I thought you might like to see the lovely view I get from my bed when I wake up from my afternoon nap most days (a little later today due to a lovely long phone call from my nephew Andrew in Manchester after lunch).

There are two apple trees outside the window - a Cox's Orange Pippin (very few apples) and a Howgate Wonder (loads of apples!).  At the time I woke up I could also hear the schoolchildren playing in the park opposite after school.

I'm looking forward to pork chops and roasted vegetables followed by stewed plums in red wine.
