Today’s weather: torrential rain, with periods of sunshine in between; a high of 77 today, with an overnight low of 53. The sun rose at 5.20 this morning, and sets at 9.15 tonight.
Last evening, walking ’round to the pub at a few minutes after 8, I was delighted to hear the sound of change-ringing from the tower of Worcester Cathedral. The rehearsal went on for an hour. Three weeks ago, K decided he didn’t like the bells, but I love them and their peculiarly English sound.

I am hopeful for a summons to Kensington Palace to greet the new royal baby in person.

Now the gate needs to be reinstalled. Samson was certainly enjoying his perch as I watered the yard!
