I have to put up a cheerful photo after that sad one of the flattened poppies, as I need cheering up myself.
Not only are all the poppies flattened now, but the wind, rain and hailstones have battered the lupins and campanula, broken some favourite pots, sent the sweet pea wigwams across the garden....
The house is OK :)
I thought of just running away to sunny Spain, but the ash cloud has stopped all flights from Scotland!
I'll recover.
