For my photo today, I thought it was time to introduce you to the famous quilt. Well, to its constituent parts anyway.

Showing my Mum round the garden yesterday, I noticed that the leaves of my borlotti beans are starting to wither away. I've not grown borlottis before (or beans, for that matter) but I reckon that means it's time for picking them. Glorious, aren't they? Inside, the beans have the wonderful marbled red patterns as well. … Continue reading A photo a day: August 8th

Whenever I tell people we’re getting married in Shropshire, the inevitable response is, “Oh, did you grow up there?” And … Continue reading A photo a day: August 7th

A jug of flowers today; including some beautiful cosmos and sweet peas. Staying at our wedding venue-to-be in Shropshire at the weekend, we found a jug like this in every apartment. They had been picked from the cutting garden. More on Shropshire tomorrow... Joining in with the August Break.

One last photo from Rye. Because, let's face it, wouldn't we all rather be at the Mermaid Corner Tea Rooms about to tuck into breakfast on this Monday morning? Joining in with the August Break.
