There was a slight break in the rain after lunch - just enough time to get outside and fill up the spaces in the conservatory border with some plants. The break in the rain did not last long and I finished the planting with the rain coming down again.
I finished off the work on the hand tools and cleaned some edging irons. The rain has certainly kept visitors away from Wallington, numbers are well down for the corresponding time last year. With the school holidays looming, a period of good weather is needed to try and get people back.
I took the following pictures before I started work and after I had finished:
