It seemed to take a long time to arrive on the ground from the time that I first realised that I might fall over. I am not injured, and my neighbour was very concerned that I was alright. The final landing was on soft grassy ground. I had my sturdy gardening shoes on, which probably helped. It is not the dog's fault, he was just being very friendly in a doggy way.

Sorry to disappoint you, Postman, but there are no videos available.

You're alright I hope?

Good thing that I did not land on the dog, he would have been flattened.

......... the top half of a bullace that snapped in one of the early spring gales......

I've still got a few jars of the jam I made last autumn from our bullace trees. It was a bumper harvest last year. So heavy it brought branches down without any wind.

My wife just said that she either wants another ginger beer or beard !

I'm assuming she said beer .

We just happen to be multilingual here. And about 20ft below sea level.

Our stone fruit crop was pretty crappy last year. Only had enough plums for a couple of crumbles, the cherries were ghastly and no apricots, greengages or damsons.

Should have waited and let the Manc weather do that for you... won't be long

No rain forecast until tomorrow morning and everything is so dry after this spell of amazing weather. I need it to rain so I can get the rest of the weeds out that are baked in right now.

It's been since teatime.

No greengages! That's a crisis. I mean........a real crisis. We had so many that I ended up bagging them up and leaving them on a table in the lane for locals to help themselves. No way we could ever have used them all. I gave half the plums away as well.

I did my ironing in the garden in the sunshine again and we ate our evening meal outside too!
