"In summer remember winter." There is a lot of work to do in summer. "What work can you do?" (asked the farmer in JCH). "Every sort of work. (said John). Can you mend the shed roof? Certainly, with a ladder, paint and a paint brush. The shed should be waterproof before the arrival of all the rain in the winter. Is there enough paint? No. We need to buy more. Is the work finished. No. Another coated is needed.

Our lawn should be green with fresh growing grass. But it is not very grassy at this time. The sun is killing the grass. The grassblades are going yellow. They need rain. There is some green. The weeds are green. The lawn is a weedpatch, with dark green weeds and light green weeds. They are wild plants. Weeds have deep roots, to look for water.

I don't like dwelling in a city, among big buildings and lots of people. I prefer being among vegetation. But that is not perfect. There are little creatures in the surrounding countryside that are not seen in towns.This creature is a tick. They drink the blood of big animals, e.g. deer, sheep and cattle. They can also feed upon some small rodents. They are found in wet bracken, rough grassland and the edge of woods (and perhaps in my garden and the lane). This pest, the tick, found my skin.

There are some changes. Fortunately, the weather is not so hot today. I can breathe! The sun is still shining, but the sky is cloudy and there is a gentle wind from the west. Unfortunately, I can't see the night sky, because of the clouds. The constellations are changing, I believe. We have moved away from Cancer and we are entering Leo. I like drawing Leo!

In Summer remember Winter. That's the Gwavas family motto. The summer months are June, July and August. In those months, some of the crops are gathered. Some are still growing, to be gathered in the autumn. Some produce is eaten now and some is stored for winter. Some produce is processed before storage, to make it last. All so that we and our animals can eat in the winter. But this summer is not very good. There is not enough rain. Some harvests are early and small. The ground is too dry. Some food will need to be bought from other countries. In winter there will be storms. Perhaps there will be no electricity. There are men still cutting trees, to keep the power lines safe.

Will this week be a good week? I have beautiful flowers from our friends, and the country has a new Prime Minister. The Government will bring an end to rough sleeping - according to our new Prime Minister. Will that be possible? It is certainly desirable.

I'm happy today. We had visitors. Many years ago my husband and his friend were researchers, in cancer research, in London. They were looking for abnormalities of chromosomes in tumours. Now they are retired and are separated by many miles. Today the friend came to our house. He was brought by his daughter and the daughter's husband in their car. The young man is a real stone mason. His experience is very interesting.
