OMG I feel for you I'm not going any further on that.

I went foraging for food today to my usual hotel but went to my local first. Was advised to use a different restaurant as our favourite (and our best local chef) was cooking today. Absolutely lovely. The place I've been using the Yorkshire puds and veggies are fine but the meat is well overcooked and very, very dry.

Why does it feel like the 'summer and growing' season, is coming to an end, it's only August, but already clearing the beds, pulling up what the slugs have left, deciding what plants to 'move' for next year. Even thinking about 'cleaning and tidying up my shed'!

Feels rather sad, anyone else feel like this.

Know what you mean Dotty. Last week I tidied up 4 beds & planted them up with onion sets...........now that's scary........

Warm this morning, even humid. Then the heavens opened this afternoon, so my butts are overflowing! I picked nearly 5 pounds of runner beans yesterday and there will be more tomorrow. Just have to find time to make the chutney! Went out for a fabulous lunch with a friend - chocolate fondant with salted caramel sauce, chocolate soil and vanilla ice-cream for pud. MMMmmmmm.

Told number one son that I had Goats cheese and caramelised red onion pithivier for starter.
"Hmmm. Cheese and onion pasty then."

Now, this might interest you all. Strange happenings on our allotments, now there has been vandalism which is awful and distressing, I'm not talking about that, seems to be under control, police aware etc! But how about a plot holder Turing his 'plot' into a mini campsite, it has a hammock, decking, cooking equipment, and apparently he spent the night up there last night!

Don't ask!

Dotty - Based on the day we had today that sounds like a great idea - alas we have rules against it

I do! For me it's that back to school feeling. Going to spend a few hours in school tomorrow. It's also that smell in the air in the early morning, the colour of the sky and even the grass takes on a different shade of green.

good evening, that was one lovely day, it was warm a bit muggy but oh so pleasant to be able to sit and enjoy the sunshine, the past week has been good now that the children are back at school,( perhaps school holidays should be cut to four weeks) There was heavy rain at six am. but by the time I got out of bed it was dry, I took my wife to a garden center where I got some trailing begonias at a reduced price, I will keep them for cuttings next year, then I let my wife buy me a coffee and a scone (just to keep her happy, it lets her spend money) It is very heavy rain now as I write this, but at this time of night I dont mind so wishing you all a good night, and remember a smile costs nothing but can help a lot of people Good night

[veggiechicken]
