Very vintage cottage, lots of books to browse and a stunning view over the sea. We were very lucky and didn't have any rain until Friday. Didn't take any photographs as my camera was mis-behaving - we have stayed here before so this is an old image.
Back to chores now. Just spent a morning weeding. My partner usually does the fruit and veg side of the garden but this year he has decided not to. I was missing having freshing picked produce so decided to have a go myself.
This is the raised bed that I have weeded this morning - forgot to take a picture of the before - but very pleased with the after!
I was even able to fill a trug with a little bit of home produce ...
... Mint and Parsley ....
... Gooseberries ...
... Blackcurrants ...
... carrot thinnings and cut and come-again lettuce.
I am eagerly waiting for these blueberries to ripen.
I did of course have lots of company at the greenhouse plot - Indie -
... and this motley crew!
I'm off now to make this - A Very Easy One-Crust Pie (from Delia's Summer Collection) - with the fruit, a lovely cous-cous salad with the herbs - which we are going to have with some houmous and a salad for our lunch.
Gooseberries and black currants, two of my favourtites.
