Day 804 - Monday 13th July 2020

Piece of apple pie (300) - I was expecting my usual pkt biscuits but my neighbour presented me with an apple pie and she insisted I should eat it. Also she wanted me to bring a piece home but I said, I would go and eat it in her house tomorrow. Hopefully, she either forgets or give it to someone else to eat. Don't want to spend my calories on something I don't want.

E - Loads of tidying up in the garden. 10,500 steps
Picked these wild flowers in the lane where I walk. They are beautiful. Also picture of surrounding farms.

Wish I could send you some of that yogurt. It is very nice. It is called Malo & you might be able to get it from Waitrose.
Haha we have nettles & thistles & foxgloves here too. Grass and weed grow like mad around here.
Gave my last portion of curry to a friend who helped me moving something heavy.

Thank you.
I am so glad that I decided to pick those Blackberries this morning. Soon after finishing my breakfast, our local farmer turned up to cut some tree stumps for me and cut some of the Blackberry bushes with ripe fruits on them.

Hope you are having a good day.

And the scenery looks beautiful

Majority of our land is farmland and flat around here. Also it is harvest time (wheat & barley), next month peas and then October is corn (unfortunately inedible - it is all animal feed). But scenery is beautiful.

At the moment, it is cloudy and threatening to rain but I hope not.

Have a great day.
