Garden time

I've decided it's time to tip my bags upside down to find out if there were any potatoes inside.

There was in these two bags, on the left I think we have charlottes and on the right I'm guessing its peach bloom. I've changed my mind I think the ones on the left are anya's.
There are five more bags to tip up, but thought we'd eat these first.

Oh and don't forget those yummy raspberries and what's left of the strawberries.

Time for a cup of tea me thinks.

A home to go ...

I just wanted to remind you about these two as I some hoe deleted the post.

The first the four bedroom cottage with excellent views over the welsh countryside. This is what I call my childhood home, where I sat at the window ledge of my shared bedroom with the window wide open looking out onto the hills and fields, occasionally seeing my friends coming up to meet me. This was before I grew to old toshare and got my own room all to myself with the privacy of the mountain behind me, where I tried to get my kitten to climb the plank from my room to the mountainside so I didn’t have to share her (it didn’t work).

In this house we learnt about frogs, newts, ducklings, adders every spring as they needed rescuing from our small sun trap of a backyard. We ate in the big kitchen with plenty of morning light, and cozied up by one of the two open fires (mum kept changing her mind and one fire was always blocked up only to be discovered the next winter while boarding up the other).


I then remember the other house where our parents now live, only a 100yds down the hill from are cottage, where we had to carry our belongings by wheelbarrow and hand from one to the other when we moved. Even the Piano. Here my sister and I took over the three attic rooms once the servants rooms with a landing big enough we used it as our living room (until the demon rabbit took over). Each room had a different use and we swapped them around until they suited our use, and if inside wasn’t enough, there’s the apple trees pear and plum and the biggest gooseberry bush I’ve ever seen, there’s rhubarb too.


So if you have forgotten or not seen them before here are the two I call home.
