Spuds

Two of our home grown potatoes. Nature is such an artist, these have hues of pink and plum. Too good looking to eat....

France puts on a show.

With great slabs of stone and mullion windows, the walled town of Carcassonne affords us some beautiful sights and adorned with the simplest of clay pots and a few geraniums makes a heartwarming photo. Even the old moat bed makes for a fertile and useful veg patch, seen from above by the bridge to the castle.

Even the remotest of villages perk their homes up with strategically placed 'mini gardens'. Right up in the hills, near Andorra, this apartment is all the more colourful with this addition of flowers.

All is safely gathered in.

Two weeks ago, Luke and I went shopping in Somerset. Luke, however, doesn't like shopping - in Somerset or anywhere to be precise so after being dragged around the shops for an hour it was time to escape from the hustle and bustle of all things retail and to investigate what else was happening on that Saturday afternoon.
Up in the town of Street we discovered that the Harvest show was taking place and was free to all so we ventured inside the town-hall and found a treasure chest of flowers and veg, all marked up and some awarded Best in Show status.

Here's a small selection of what was on display.
