Gardening
This weekend should have been our village open gardens - sadly cancelled.
Having been part of this previously we know that it is hard work over the two days but also enormous fun.
We have had the front garden redesigned recently but dh (particularly) has worked very hard to make the back garden look good!
The event also makes a lot of money for our local children's hospice which will, sadly, miss out this year.
I thought it might be nice to have a Gransnet Open Gardens event so here are some of our plants. Watch out, I could go mad!!

My little dog is also a keen gardener. This is her latest contribution.

Catching the evening sun.
Beautiful gardens. 
Sorry if this sounds unbearably smug but - Yesterday, when it poured with rain off and on all day, none of my neighbours were able to sit out in their immaculate landscaped gardens. I on the other hand, had a good day, nipping out between showers to lift a shaw of 1st early potatoes, some peas and baby courgettes, an onion and a few herbs. Later, I picked a bowlfull of raspberries, strawberries and black currants. So sat down to Sunday Dinner of home made pork, apple, onion and herb meatloaf, with new potatoes, peas and courgettes, followed by a big bowl of fresh fruit with squirty cream. All absolutely delicious. Shame I had no one to share it with
