May is not a good time to leave an active garden…. early hardening off, planting out before usual times, and setting up watering systems is all on the books right now. All with a big dose of wishfulness that the current warm and summer-like weather continues until they are well established… I will miss the planting windows for a few veggies, such are the sacrifices of travel!
Countdown has started, with the “to do” list before departure as usual way longer than the time remaining. The search has begun on chocolatiers and patisseries to visit in London; research for future development of course will require tasting :-). First patisserie ordered from “Patisserie Cedric Grolet” for pickup on Wednesday. I suspect from the tour itinerary we’ll be walking it off quite quickly. As Morag said, the itinerary is “mad”. All with 25 others, the biggest group I’ve travelled with so fingers crossed.
More to come!
