Hello beautiful people, it has been a while since I did an update on my blog.. Summer is speeding by and I am making the most of these wonderful Sunny Days here in the UK.. Life is for living, and enjoying and that is exactly what I have been doing.. Spending time with family, and enjoying several birthday celebrations, and of course the allotments have been getting lots of attention with picking berries, and preparing produce for the freezer..
I also started a knitting project too, which has stopped my hands from pounding the keyboard of an evening. A project in progress that has the back and one front completed..
Tennis too has been on the agenda, and no, I am not that sprightly, lol, but may invest in a swing ball for the lawn, as I know one little lady who will enjoy the game with me.. But Wimbledon is on for another week, and you will find me most afternoons watching Tennis this next week, as I root for my favourite Tennis Stars. So I have been up extra early and down the gardens before it warms up and gets too hot to work.
So as I share lots of photo’s over on my gardening blog on the progress on the allotments.. For a change, I will share a little of the allotments here with you.
Enjoy, and I will I hope gradually work my way down the reader and find you.
And remember to love, laugh, and BE Happy..
Hydrangea’s in our home garden
See you Soon!

I’m enjoying the tennis myself, dear Sue, and have been marvelling at the artistry on display, together with being astonished at the incredible physicality that the modern game demands of its players. When I used to go to Wimbledon it was back in the days of Billie Jean, Virginia, Martina, Chrissie, and Evonne, and with the men, Arthur, Jimmy, Björn and Mac. But they’d all get taken apart these days, I suspect, given the huge advances in athleticism. Looking forward to next week! Fancy Jo Konta to win, and either Rafa or Roger. You? H ❤

And I have so enjoyed watching Joanna Konta play, and have my doubts over a second championship win for Andy.. 🙂 But some supper Tennis, and oh those were the days, and I remember them well, too.. lol..

Just wanted to stop by and say hi, sweet Sue! Still on the road, we’re stopped at a cafe to recharge (batteries and minds, ha!), and to have a bit of regular internet. Whew…funny…you don’t realize how much you come to reflect on how big a part of your life it is until you’re not connected for a few days. lol
Beautiful photos as always of the gardens, and I’m thinking of you lots today. We are in Stowe, Vermont. It’s pouring rain. We had wanted to climb Mt. Mansfield (it’s the tallest mountain in this state), but Spirit had other plans. We’ll see what mischief we’ll get into, but I remember you saying that you had an interest in the Mansfield name. Tomorrow we’re going to a town that I think is on the “leylines” but bunches of spiritual gurus were attracted to that town: Lincoln, Vermont. It should be really interesting. This whole trip has been powerful and interesting. 🙂 Sending you warm hugs (because whew…it’s rainy and cold here – I’m dressed as if it were a chilly autumn day) with hints of turmeric and ginger from the tea I’m sipping. xoxo

A beautiful picture Sue, The Mother of Earths Allotment, your Tomatoes are great, the fruits of your enjoyment make me wonder just how big is your Larder, warehouse size I think, you have many hobbies Sue, and all a pleasure to follow.
A mutual friend of yours and mine is Cat Peacemaker, I see a friend of Cats left a comment that a WP friend of both Cats and mine had apparently passed away, a lovely German lady who was undergoing much Chemo, not sure if she was a friend of yours also Sue, her name was Gislende.
Sad when we lose our WP friends.
Cheers.

Oh no so sorry to hear Gislinde has passed.. I know she was extremely ill and her last post she said her farewells .. I follow her husbands blog.. I must go along and pass on my condolences.. Thank you for passing that along dear Ian.. Yes she was a great friend here on Dreamwalkwer’s and had been undergoing hospital treatments for a year or more..
She will now be within the garden she loved so much.. For she loved flowers.. Many thanks again Ian for letting me know.. ❤

Love your garden!! Looks so pretty. I had some fresh NZ yams baked yesterday from my friend’s home grown garden. So good. Bit unusual but delicious http://peopleplantslandscapes.blogspot.com.au/2017/05/oca-harvest-oxalistuberosa.html

You and your garden are both looking beautiful Sue! I was looking into a course about growing your own food but so far I’m not sure that I will have time to do it. Neither am I sure where I would grow my own food lol but I would love to give it a try after seeing how wonderful yours is 🙂 Wolfie hugs, and hope you’re enjoying the sunshine and tennis in between growing and gathering! xx

We do not always need a garden Wolfie to grow food.. A few tubs on a balcony with compost.. In fact on Wed Gardener’s World showed you how to grow carrots and lettuce etc from tubs as Monti set seeds.. 🙂 Even tomatoes can be grown in doors and you could grow Runner beans too in a tub using canes to grow up.. But they are too late to start now.. But FOOD for thought 🙂
Lovely to see you Wolfie xxx
