Portrait


How nice is this! A portrait of Grandma with her house and car by a Big Girl in Switzerland. Glad to see I have a smile on my face and not my usual relaxed grimace.
We are revelling in the warm weather this weekend and managing to keep abreast of the work on the next edition of the village mag. We had a few days away in the caravan just as the weather improved, took it all of ten miles away! Easy-peasy, but far enough to feel like another world. Did lots of walking, cycling (or more walking when hills occurred) and reading and just watching the cows in the next field. Our poor old van is falling apart but there isn't another one like it to replace it with so we hope it lasts a while yet.
I've also begun to fill up the veggie patch now that the cold weather has gone, just have to keep watering it at the mo but mustn't complain about that. Lettuce, chard, broad beans, runner beans, broccoli are in. And wonderful to relate HoF has removed the spare might-come-in handy-toilet from the greenhouse, along with the sacks of sand and spare cupboard door, so for the first time I have tomatoes, peppers and aubergine plants in there. Only four pots in total but it's a start.
