June is fast fading.

 For some reason (or for many reasons) I have been a bit 'doon in the mooth', as they say... I've spent a lot of time alone in my garden and house. I love it. My refuge from the world.

I did a few home improvements and lots of spinning and knitting.

I had a bit of broken marble which I made into a surface beside the cooker. Very simple and satisfying.

The blanket. I had planned to make it bigger but it got quite heavy! So now it's just right for me on my bed.

On a visit to a beach I saw these sea hollies. I love their blue green leaves.

My sunny kitchen.

A bouquet from the garden.

This summer hasn't been too hot, so far. I am grateful. Tomatoes are ripening and pumpkins are swelling. Beans hang from their vines. Courgettes get picked before they get too big. I'm not growing a lot of stuff as the watering becomes a chore and I'm not in the mood for chores!
