Huge storms and a tornado in Aldershot. Here just lots of rain. Had our monthly bridge foursome then Chris and I went to the Coln Swing Band but didn't take a picnic.  Hard to believe we had such awful weather earlier in the day. Now 22nd there is a Generation Bridge evening so have set up three computers we shall see how it goes.Oti got kicked in the knee and so can't really walk. The girls went on Brownie Camp and I made failed fudge for Feelies birthday using a nonstick pan which doesn't work.

Useful shade plant Then we went to Compton Acres in Canford Cliffs where I hadn't been since the 1960s. Fascicularia Bicolour a kind of Bromeliad.
