In the garden

We have had lovely weather over the last few days... which leads me to the garden.  And a few things were ready for the picking.

 
Broadbeans and leeks (the leeks always need much washing)


 
The small blueberry bushes actually have fruit... enough to go in my breakfast bowl.

Nostalgic moment



This girl is my favourite.  Today we went to Ratanga Junction Theme Park
and she went on all the crazy rides several times.  We also walked around a bit looking at
 the rides that she use to love as a toddler... a nostalgic moment.
So when we got home I went through a few old pics...

There he is!

 
Chatting to my dad.

A summery weekend

 
 
 
Lovely hot weather meant time in the water
 
 
I made a jug of Berry Iced Tea
 
 
A cold salad of avocado and crab

A fair picture

'Since you should know something about me, I have asked the Reverend Simon Simpless, of St Hilda's Church near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk to write to you.  He has known me since I was a child and is fond of me. 
I have asked Lady Bella Taunton to provide a reference for me too.  We were fire wardens together during the Blitz and she wholeheartedly dislikes me. 
Between the two of them, you may get a fair picture of my character.'

La Ville Lumiere

 
Wayne is in Paris and I am not.  Enough said.
