Friday night and I'm loving...

life being back to 'normal'...

that tidying the house is strangely a long-awaited treat...

the glorious colours and kindness of a bunch of flowers from a friend's garden...

 

that we're harvesting in the veggie patch...beetroots galore thanks to our new raised bed sytem which husband of patience has mulched with cardboard, grass clippings and donkey muck, producing crumbly rich soil instead of just having clay!

daughter mine setting to and producing delicious beetroot chutney...because there's nothing like homemade
 

the stunning wild flowers that  mingle in the garden with those we've chosen to plant

the sights and tastes of the veggie patch...who can resist picking and eating peas al fresco...very few get cooked!

and there, out there, are the wild hills and rolling countryside

the seasons moving on...and simple pleasures of the start of a new wood stack...

ah life is good and we are rich indeed...

hope you're loving your garden and the outdoors and the joys of summer living...Emmaxx
