Homes and gardens and down the lanes

Homes:

A cottagy looking corner of Lou Lou land.

Gardens:

 

Peas. (Ready to eat)

I’ve had a few (peas ladies now now)

Sneakily, standing between the rows pods an’ all.

onion, beetroot, more peas and pumpkin.

 

Big onion!! They were a failure last year.

Pumpykins. Ooer.

My salad bowl. This lives on the deck for emergency salad situations.

 

Not elephants eye yet but this always does well.

 

Very Mr McGregor don’t you think?

 

Down the lanes:

    

Believe it or not this made me think of winter and snow. I know but its true. I've just unlatched the door so the giant preteen can get in (I know kind of me) This time during November and December I would also turn on the outdoor light and draw the curtain against the DARK Yep 4pm would be dark in the northern Hemisphere then. So  we all turn into sun worshipers at this time of year and often get burned, dehydrated or worse as we feel the need to soak up enough sun to “get us through” the dark days of winter. This, coupled with the failure of summer to show up at all in the last 3 years…. Well you catch my drift. How very British of me to go on about the weather!! Although bizarrely I met an Australian in the lane today, (I could tell he was Aussie before he spoke as he had a proper hat on) he said hello and commented on how lovely the weather  was.

Make the most of the sun if you have it and if you are having winter enjoy that too there is nothing nicer than snugging up with a blankie and a fire. Except the summer returning perhaps.
