well we've had nicer welcomes back to the uk. alternately heavy and drizzly rain for most of the day, the garden a jungle and some kind soul stole our doorstep milk delivery - when we are in quarantine for 14 days and not allowed out even to buy food! rescued some of the hydrangea flowers which are hanging their heads in the mud under the weight of water and cheered myself up by taking their picture. it is supposed to be dry tomorrow so hopefully we can get the garden back under control and mow the lawn. we were so lucky to have nearly a month of french sunshine!
update september 2020 ...
decided that, after five-and-a-half years on this fabulous site, I should say a little more about myself than the two sentences...
Oh my. Well can you schedule a grocery delivery to your home? You can stand in your door and grab it the minute it’s delivered. The very idea that someone stole your milk! Good grief! In the meantime your hydrangea shot is lovely.
so sorry you had such a dreary welcome back to the UK. I think France has been the better place to be over the past month. I hope you have good neighbours who can lend you a pint of milk. Enjoying hte subtlety of your hydranga. More shots from the garden tomorrow?
Urgh, sad that some people feel the need to take someone else stuff! Very pretty shot, I hope you can get into your yard soon , spending some relaxing time with your camera.

I was so sure you'd bring back some French sunshine! Hope your quarantine goes by in a flash without any further incidents.
