Although I was working on Saturday I couldn't resist the chance to meet up with my Auntie and Uncle who were staying at Mum's house. So once Luke had collected me from work we had a quick cup of tea at home and I spent a happy twenty minutes just sitting in the steamer with the chickens around me whilst Luke had a shower. To be able to sit back and enjoy the garden you have created is a lovely thing and sadly often overlooked. One of the sunflowers had gone on a real lean to one side so we staked it to a cane before we left.
What a lovely weekend, family, great food and wine (as always, my Mum is an excellent hostess) and really nice catch up. Once the others had left Mum walked Luke and me around her gardens. That's always an inspiration. She loaded us up with freshly picked ruby coloured tomatoes, just-dug beetroot and some poppy heads, loaded with seed. They are like little maracas. Gardeners are great for sharing their harvest. Thanks, Mum.
These are some of the visitors Luke photographed whilst the rest of us nattered on!
