Chris has been off sick today, and has had a crabby and occassionally bored day in the cottage! I have taken the wisest course and have spent the day weeding and harvesting.I collected the rest of the broad beans and have covered the cos lettuce from greedy beaks, as the sun seemed to have brought forth the wild daisies and the last of the sunflowers and sweet peas.
I may just have enough sweet peas to decorate each of the tea tables at the flower show, but have conscripted Joanne from the village to donate a few more healthier bunches. They will give the hall that "vintage" look when accompanied by the donated hand embroidered tableclothes we donated to the show two years ago!
This morning I collected a few items to enter in the flower show from my cousin and have bullied my Aunt Judy to enter several of the less popular domestic and flower classes.
My yard is a blank canvas. I'm just getting started getting it the way I want it. I've been too busy this spring and summer, but I'll get it looking good a little at a time.
ReplyDeleteOh the lovely smell of sweetpeas. Bet you are busy getting ready for the show! How exciting.
