You might wonder why I’ve put up this photo but just before I took it I couldn’t help noticing all their white legs then the bodies above it. We drove to our niece’s house yesterday but I forgot my phone and the cord for my computer so today we drove home again. That's the reason I haven't been on for the last several hours. Thankfully, it’s only a 30-minute drive between the two places. While we were out we did an early vote to save long queues next Saturday then did some grocery shopping and finally bought some vegetable seedlings which I’ll plant for my niece. Vince also bought himself a basil plant. Usually these die off over winter but the one he got is supposed to be a perennial so here’s hoping. Tomorrow, Vince’s brother is coming and we’re going to prune some trees which will enable us to get the motor-home in the driveway. We don’t need it to live in here but we have a few things we’d like to do to it.

This is an amazing photo. Basil grows as a perennial in the warm areas of the world, the "wild basil" should survive also in cooler areas.

@JudyEv - We are picky Italians, so we need different kind of basil according to what we cook.

@LadyDuck Fair enough.

There were at least three different varieties that we could have bought.

Vince likes to cook with basil so he was pleased to find a perennial one.

They look like they lined up for a class photo!

Does the community you live in have parking/storage space for your motorhome?

@JudyEv — great, as long as you’re not suffering with added expenses.

They do, don't they?

We can only park in the village for 36 hours. Storage yards are incredibly expensive but we're able to store it for free on a friend's five acres.

For how many days will you be in and out of your niece's house?

We stayed there for one night but had a tour of the farm before we left.

Good think you guys were close enough to make a quick trip home again.

I hope you enjoy yourselves while house-sitting for your niece.

I could have managed without my phone but it would have been a long week without internet.

It's nice to plant some vegetable seedlings near your niece's house.

I'm hoping the seedling will be well established by the time she returns.

With the whole family away, it's a good chance just to do a few little jobs around the place. The picture is a 'nothing' in a way but I really like it.
