stag at bay


very hot again today. Hattie and RP have tottered off bravely to bake in the sun while I irritably fiddle with the Gossiping Goddesses, just over a week to get everything finished for the exhibition.
I can't wait to get this stuff off my back, I really am in a ratty mood.
The Teepee has appeared on the green, it is 7 metres tall, and apparently the constructors are just trying it out before they attempt their 12 metre one. The poles have to be transported in segments.
Hippy folk used to live in these things in Wet Wales, once upon a time. I wonder if they still do. It is very enticing to pull out all plugs and just drift.........but i guess it is actually hard work keeping it all going, especially with little kidlets among the daisy chains.

I feel more like this beetle, stuck in a very hard shell and liable to get run over at any moment.........but not before I use my weapons of defense.

Love your poppies! We seem to have very few this year, but last year they filled the horizons.Something to do with recently turned ground.
I saw some blue expanses of flax the other day and it is a long time since they abounded. They appear like lakes between the bushes at the side of the road.
Lots of lovely colours.
Cheers Gillian

Wonderful photos! I need a better camera - or more skill!

The modern-day hippy lives in a yurt - up here anyway. Quite cosy.
