July is here!

I have been very silent due to massive power cuts (yesterday 20 hours) and internet failure.

July is now cold and windy.

Our vegetable garden thrives but with over an achre and no help we are struggling. We cannot water as there is little water - sometimes at night we get a few hours - but who can get up in freezing cold weather and water?????

Our aloes look good and have flowered well desipte the adverse conditions.

Everything is very dry and brown at the moment. Hope we have more power and I can add to this blog later! Have to catch up on e-mail now!
