On Tuesday morning I drove back from Mary's at 7 am with the roof down - it was a beautiful morning.

I've travelled over 5,000 miles in the MX5 in the past 6 months which is twice as many miles as I covered in the Lotus in 12 months. It's fast and sensible unlike the Lotus which was just fast.

Jane and I didn't like roses but there are a few in the garden that were gifts from people over a number of years. The garden is a constant reminder of Jane and the hours she put into filling it with beautiful things in her final 18 months.

I looked back to June 2015 when Jane was still working in the garden - <a href="http://pigyard.com/wordpress/archives/2680" target="_blank" rel="noopener">click here for a reminder...</a> This years show of foxgloves should be equally good.
