Just had email from T &M to say Autumn catalogue on it's way. Did I miss summer?

Beryl.

That was last week.

Oh dear, just my luck Peter!!!

Now if I could miss Christmas as well that would be something.

Beryl.

Dear Beryl, no you haven't missed Summer, we still have weeks and weeks of drought conditions to look forward to....

Oh what a cheery soul you are OH
I think the years go by so quickly now I don't like to be reminded too soon of the next season.

Beryl.

I just try and enjoy every single day as it comes along Beryl, of course, some are a little better than others, but most are packed full of enjoyment.

I knew you would cheer me up OH.
I've just bought 2 new gooseberry bushes, pot grown this time. I've always had bare rooted stock before but thinking if I wanted to get to eat any of them I had better have something that would crop next year. and then T & M's email hence the reminder of how quickly the years are going by.

I will try and follow your philosophy in future. - thanks.

Beryl.

Yes, I had my Autumn catalogue in the post yesterday and couldn't really look at it just yet I know we have to plan ahead - but I just couldn't muster up the enthusiasm - not when I was just about to pull up the wallflowers and replace with geraniums. I'd like to have a bit of summer first.

Bulb catalogue turned up about two weeks ago... haven't even cleared out all the pots of this spring's daffs and tulips yet.
