19.08.2025 Japanese Gardens.

 ~o~

  Tuesday 19th 58F/14.4C. Overcast and breezy. A little cooler each day. Sunshine and 22C/72F expected.

 Up at 6.15 after another quiet night.

 8.00 Time for a walk. 

 8.40 Returned from a much cooler walk around the fields. The farmer had been breaking up the spray tracks to aid ploughing or sewing.  Still a few bales lying uncollected. There was quite a wind at times. So my jacket was far more essential than merely decorative. No deer visible today. Flocks of perhaps one hundred sparrows moved about nervously. 

 11.00 We visited the Japanese Gardens. Not far from where I live. These were incredibly well done. Cloud formation trees soaring high above us. Tens of thousands of plants, shrubs and trees.   

 Followed by visits to Assens and Haarby. In Assens we had a pub meal on the pavement. 

 Later we came across a collection of half a dozen Puch mopeds in as new condition. Being minded by one of the club members while the others shopped. We chatted with the watchman. Then onto Haarby for petrol and more shopping.

 Then home with my sister enjoying more polishing of the metalwork on the Morris. Dinner was fish fingers, peas and chips. Followed by more polishing while I washed up.
