Mint Tea

Also been growing mint for mint tea
just like they served me in Valvona
and Crolla in Edinburgh -
but of course free!

Sunday Lunch

Roast for us means roast vegetables - here
with lots of salad - salad leaves also grown in
the garden - Yum!

How does your garden grow?

Usually my garden just grows weeds but this
year I have aimed to keep the view from the
kitchen window looking good. So for the last
four months the tubs have been flourishing.
How pretty these Verbena are - wish
I had planted more. You can just see the
Nasturiums starting to grow next to them so
hopefully they will feature on the blog in due
course.

Strawberry time

Yes its that time of year - we went strawberry-
picking last weekend and made loads of fabulous
strawberry jam the next day.
The rate it is disappearing at we may have to
make a return trip while it is still strawberry-
picking season!

More patchwork

This time patchwork of the knitted variety. I loved
knitting my patchwork blanket so much
have started another one. This one is
destined for my bed and so far restricted
to four colours. That could change- haven't
quite made up my mind yet.

More sewing

Just realised how long it's been since
I put anything on the blog - have been
busy with lots of creative stuff.
This little cushion was inspired by the
patchwork one

Perfect patchwork

Well actually not perfect at all but I
am so happy with my first attempt
that it seemed like magic to me!
