Jasmine
As the lockdown
eases the jasmine seems to progress. It’s all over the front of
the house and covers a large part of the wall on the back terrace.
The perfume is everywhere. I had thought that one of the jasmine
plants in a pot on the balcony wasn’t doing much until, looking
left rather than straight ahead outside my bedroom window,
I saw it happiky
climbing over the TV dish and antenna next to the roof. I had to get
my son to risk life and limb climbing out of my bedroom window, three
storeys up, to untangle it. The result is that neighbours have vases
full of jasmine and TV coverage is secured. Carl and I have also
plastered the interior of the wall fountain on the terrace at the
back with mastic to repair a leak so that is another useful job done.
Thanks to the
lockdown easing we were able to have a pain au chocolat and coffee on
the terrace of the Bar du Pont and bask in the sun on Friday morning
and now look forward to a pizza in the same place on Monday evening.
Summer is coming and hopefully there are good times ahead.
