Mister Blue Skies

Well it's raining again. Unfortunately it has come too late for my mange tout peas and they have died. The ailing French beans are covered in blackfly. I have been too absorbed in my weaving to care for these thirsty plants. We have a hosepipe ban and I would have had to spend a long time every evening carting heavy watering cans up the garden to make the wee greens grow properly. I wonder if I shall bother next year - my heart just isn't in it at the moment. I think maybe in a few years' time when the children are grown up I will find suddenly that I have loads more time. Hardly any washing or cooking to do and no one to admonish.
