How time has flown. We have been lucky enough to have been blessed with decent crops of broad beans, peas, sugar snap peas, lettuce, strawberries and now tomatoes, cucumbers and raspberries. The french beans are not too far behind, and we've just finished our first row of potatoes.
Lovely, but it is rather time consuming picking, podding and hulling each day. It feels good to have been eating so much fresh produce from our own garden and stashing the rest away for a rainy day...after the children have bagged what they want.
The grandchildren seem to be growing like weeds, and the eldest saw fit to cut his own fringe the other day...a mere six weeks before his Aunties' wedding!
Suffice to say it's all been a bit hectic around here...lovely but hectic.
Haven't had much time...well any time for photography, but did snap some of the current blooms in the garden a day or two ago.
Hopefully there will be something to pick for our daughters' wedding in a few weeks time...
I think I will be able to say yes to the dress I bought in a knock down sale some time ago. I really like it but at the time it didn't fit. Thanks to a few weeks of cutting out the crap from my diet I can now get it on. I could do with losing a few more pounds which would certainly help the dress fit better and so I intend to continue to eat copious amounts of healthy foods...not a single calorie has been counted, but crisps, cake and bread have been off the menu!!
Oh yes fruit flies...pesky little blighters...we have been inundated with them this past week. I have placed some mango peel and water in a pint glass and covered it with cling film, then made a small hole in the top. Have so far caught literally dozens. Yuck.
Blessings, J. x
Yes, everything is growing apace here too. Including the weeds.
