Phew, it was hot today, 26 degrees in the shade and 39 degrees in the polytunnel, not a place to stay in unless doing some watering. It was Wimbledon finals today and after lunch Philip said that we might as well go home because everyone would be at home watching it. How wrong can you be?? We had quite a steady stream of customers and garden visitors for the rest of the day and although the sales were not large there were several smallish sales which mounted up to more than we had dared hope for.

We sat around most of the day reading the Sunday papers in the morning and half listening to the tennis match on the radio inbetween serving customers. The only work we did was watering which simply couldn’t be put off. I was a bit concerned when someone came in from Napton and said their water had been turned off. It turns out that its the same problem that happened just 3 weeks ago but luckily for us we are not affected.
