The fair weather continues, allowing me to finish the ornamental paving! The part of the garden shown in the above photo is the herb garden, at the back and to the right is the beginning of the long bed at the rear of the garden. We have increased the size of the lawn, reseeding it, and making it easier to manage the garden maintenance. Here is the veggie patch:

We have pak choi, peas, lettuces and celery. The pak choi grew very well indeed and the lettuces are just becoming ready about now!

Last night I went out to an open-air production of As You Like It. It rained, and the actors enjoyed ad-libbing to the crowd about the misery of ill-weather &c &c. The show was very enjoyable, it was great to go to the theatre after a long time away from it. Upon returning home I found England were 170 for 3 against Australia and the chance turned into a win - an exciting win!
