We’re promised good weather after the rains of Friday which happily fell on all gardens including my veggie bed where my new courgette plants, runner beans and purple dwarf beans where the rain is much needed....!

My veggie garden is indeed a work-in-progress - I'm clearing the weeds as my plants require more space! - with herbs about the base of the runner beans and previous flower plants gathered about the courgettes, happily just about to fruit.  I adore courgettes, don't you?

Ball Colegrave held their Open Day on Wednesday with their usual wonderful display of blooms of all kinds, in an amazing array of colours, all of which blended most happily alongside each other.  One almost suffered colour-blindness, the display was so brilliant.  Well, see for yourself...

 and there were a few very good craft stalls which I really enjoyed visiting....

Then on Thursday evening Ball Colegrave held a charity event for Guide Dogs for the Blind when the really good sum of something between £500-600. was raised from the sale of raffle tickets, hot refreshments and delicious cakes and doughnuts and then an auctiion sale for the last prize which resulted in a sum of £40. for a most attractive potted plant.  Here's a few more photos from Thursday's event which was really great fun for all of us...

Happy weekend to you all!
