July.................



....here it is, first day of July. Anglo-Saxon names for the month include Heymonath or Maedmonath, referring respectively to haymaking and the flowering of the meadows; looking forward to some lovely summer weather, today is glorious out there, off out in a bit. This month we have St Swithin's day (15th) and the Tolpuddle FEstival, which I would love to go to, we'll see.


CROP CIRCLES


Apparently, July is THE month for crop circles..........a phenomenon dating from the 1970s. Who makes them? Extraterrestrials? Underlying energy fields? Freak weather conditions? Pranksters? I really don't know, but my Muscovy ducks did a good rendition of one in th middle of my wheat................:0)

I've been enjoying reading your blog...I'm a no-shop shopper and have been for about 2 years now. I haven't darkened the door of any of the major supermarkets although I have been known to pop into Waitrose which is local to me...but no big shops any more, hand basket only. I can honestly say that it's cheaper, the veggies come via a box scheme, meat from the butcher, make my own bread or a bakery if I'm short of time ( like you I'm a nurse and shifts are rubbish for organisation!!)so I admire what you are trying to do. will keep an eye on your blog BW Goosey

Thanks Goosey! I'm not a nurse, though...........
Waitrose is the most tempting of the big shops, I agree........:0)

As a mother, though, I am a part-time occasional nurse I suppose........ :0)
Glad you're enjoying the blog - I enjoy writing it, helps me get my brain sort of organised for a short time.....
