Cool Day

Potted colour for me - pretty cool!
A pair of Dunlop Volleys for Elsa - so cool!
Hugo being so cute - very cool!

Calendula from the garden

We're starting a growers market in our community. We did a little promotional photo shoot on the weekend. Here's some detail - greens picked from our garden, props from around my house...

Veg about in the snowpeas

Joining in with Bellgirl's Veg About. Here are some scenes from the snow pea patch.

The broad beans are looking so healthy and lush. I made lunch yesterday with them, along with other produce from our garden, a sort of broad bean dip. I picked some young garlic, a weedy one to make more room for the more vigorous. The remaining garlic crop won't be ready until mid summer. Fresh young garlic is so sweet. Some mint and parsley. Some moistened stale sourdough. Mooshed together with loads of lemon juice, olive oil. Salt & pepper. Finish with a generous sprinkle of sumac.

Bloody delicious!

watch me fly

Hugo is obsessed with planes, rockets and helicopters at the moment. One! two! three! four! sixteen! twelve! blast off!

So this morning I made him a pair of aeroplane wings out of a cardboard box. He flew around the yard at such a pace. So, so fast! So, so adorably cute!

Big sister also joined in on the aeronautical action with a pair of butterfly wings.

All that warp speed action, I need a break....
