I hope all’s as well as can be expected\u2026<\/p>\n
So June is well and truly upon us and it’s one of my favourite months of the year, flowers are bursting with colour and the sound of the birds chirping in the garden is a real joy. I\u2019ve even been fortunate enough to hear a nightjar churring the other evening whilst I was walking Ellie across heathland behind our house. Churring is the most unearthly, alien-like sound and it’s hard to believe it’s made by a relatively small bird (a little smaller than a blackbird).<\/p>\n
On the green, where Ellie and Toby often have their morning walk, is a quintessentially English village pond, complete with water lilies and ducks with their own floating house! I couldn\u2019t resist taking a pic to share with you (above).<\/p>\n
Ellie is the “hunter” of our two – she just loves the chase and so is fascinated by the ducks, moorhens and coots as they swim on the pond. Toby however, is rather more interested in any food that may have been left for them! Last summer Ellie chased a fledgling blackbird into a corner, my daughter raced to rescue the poor little thing and saw that Ellie was just sniffing the bird out of curiosity, once it had stopped moving.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve had a few days away from the Q this week and it was so lovely to finally be able to take a trip down to Sussex to see my dear mum, who of course has been isolating at home. It was so lovely to finally chat face-to-face with her, in the flesh, in her lovely garden. She was quick to show me her amazing display of roses that she\u2019s been feeding with Richard Jackson’s<\/a> Rose Tonic… she said they’re the best they’ve ever been.\u00a0 Talking of Richard, a little update on the lily growing \u2018non\u2019 competition-competition \ud83d\ude09 – I\u2019ll include a photo in my next blog, but suffice to say they are doing amazingly well, brought on with plenty of Flower Power<\/a>!<\/p>\n Whilst I have been off it has given me a great opportunity to try out the new Shark DuoClean Powered Lift Away Upright Cordless Vacuum that we’ll be showcasing as our Today’s Special Value (TSV) on Wednesday the 17th<\/sup>. I’ve made a short video explaining why this is a game-changer for the Franklin’s \ud83d\ude42 (in short, the new Anti-Hair Wrap feature is brilliant!).<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Flowers-E.jpg\")
