Produce from the garden

More beans. Getting a bit sick of them now and running out or ideas for what to do with them?

Plenty of Aubergines!

But not many tomatoes yet!

RIP Dad!

Just updating my blogg! Not got very far. As you may already know (possibly from reading Lizzies Blogg) our father passed away on the 14th of Aug.

I've not really got any recent pictures of him but if you go to Lizzies blog http://www.beech-cottage.blogspot.com/ she's put some really nice ones on. As well as some recent pictures of his cooking things. Will have to dig some photo's out and get them scanned in.

You can also find some really lovely messages on the Jamie Oliver webforums where he posted a lot. http://www.jamieoliver.com/forum/ click on leftovers and have a look at Geoffp.

Our local paper the Telegraph & Argus also printed an article on the day of his funeral.

There was also a really nice letter that appeared on the letters page of the T&A a few days after his funeral.

New Patio!

Spent 2 full (very sunny) days laying our new patio! We worked out that over the weekend we shifted about 3-4 tonnes of flags, sand & cement.

The new flags

Laying out the flags to make sure the design fits.

Checking the levels!

Almost finished!

The last flag

Enjoying a well earned rest, totally knackered and just a little bit sunburnt. (and yes it is another neighbours BBQ)

More Sunsets

Veggies from our garden!

Pimento Del Padron, Runner Beans, Courgettes, Aubergines and Potatoes.

Just some of the things growing in our veg plot.

Patio Planning!!

After much deliberating & faffing, I think we've finally decided on what we are doing with our patio. We're going for flags!! So we've been planning the layout!

Happy Birthday Karen!!

Celebrated Karen's Birthday, usual neighbours and friends. And a whole night without torrential rain!
