Tatze is on her own again for a while.  Three of the original roses are still going strong and the white ones look magnificent.

The bread on the breakfast bar is Polish bread ~ my favourite!

We have Rossi, guide dog puppy, staying for the bank holiday weekend ~ he's a big lad!  Tatze thinks he's the bees knees.

It's a glorious sunny day today and the flowers in the garden are enjoying it along with the rest of us.

Beautiful white roses on the breakfast bar ~ a gift from our dinner party guests.

Three more dogs at the paint stage, these are a present for a friend.

(Note the covered daisy outside ~ protecting it from torrential rain!)

Today's photo sees the return of the snoozing pooches.

Chaos continues as OH prepares for his big bike ride.

The roses are glorious, I have included a close up.

The book on the counter is 'Career of evil' by Robert Galbraith (J K Rowling). I started reading it but didn't enjoy it at all ~ miserable, negative, no likeable characters at all, rather like her last book.  OH is reading it, he will read anything!

It's a warm, windy day today ~ the sun is trying but not succeeding yet.

Twiglet is panting because she's just returned from a long walk.

It's a work afternoon for me so my bags are packed and ready.  I am retired but teach art one afternoon a week in a primary school ~ it keeps my brain alive!

In today's photo roses have replaced the daffs.  How much do I spend a year on flowers?  Good question!  The daffs were £1 and the roses £3.  Maybe I'll start keeping a running total.

On the breakfast bar can be seen a variety of bottles containing bike cleaning equipment.  OH is preparing for a coast to coast USA bike ride, great excitement for him!

It's hot and very windy weather - great for drying washing.  The dogs are, as usual, having their afternoon snooze.

Today we have evidence of a week's holiday in Majorca - suitcases and no dogs!

It was a lovely sunny week and we are back to sunshine at last in the UK - excellent!
