My days have fallen into a pattern. Rise at 6 to catch up with the everyday jobs, go to work, come home and start on the sorting, painting and clearing until joints ache and tiredness takes over. I'm having to block my ears to the call of the sea, turn away from the beautiful weather and keep focused on the task ahead. But every now and then..............
A walk around my garden to enjoy the beautiful show the flowers are putting on
Harvesting the early veg, the kale is running wild.
Making kale and goats cheese pesto to use up some of the kale,
Planting peppers,
Knitting my winter cardi,
Failing to get a photo of the Jay that has been visiting my garden but capturing these beautiful goldfinches,
and finally bunking off to the city for ice cream and wine.
Chickpea xx
