Re: 2024 season begins
Just picked a quite large punnet of Strawberries from the greenhouse, Flamenco are a good cropper, especially compared to the Mara des Bois I did grow. Flavour is good, but the Mara are tastier I think.

Re: 2024 season begins
Thanks for the kind comments, I am having an endoscopy, but under general anaesthetic to remove some polyps from inside my stomach, I have been having this done for several years without being knocked out, but it seems more intensive work is required. Hoping to be in and out the same day, CT scan to...

Re: Early Summer Bits and Bobs.
Warm and sunny despite the Harr rolling in off the sea, got the big hedge clipped with hand shears so as not to disturb nesting birds too much, left the top for later. Grass cut too, it is almost looking summery out there.

Re: A mindful moment
The harbour along with many others on our coast have been taking some beatings from recent storms, a lot of boats are taken out of the water during the winter.
