It is indeed magical. I enjoy eating our own food. Nothing taste better ☺️
They are still here until Thursday. We are enjoying the visit a lot. Living abroad makes family visits extra soecial. 😊
Today they are out with hubby. I have to stay at home. Got bitten by something (probably a mosquito, i am allergic too) on my ankle and it is swollen and red hot. So ice pack for me with my foot up a few days.
Have a wonderful new month!
Oh, that is unfortunate! I hope that it has healed by now? That does not sound good at all!
I can only imagine. My brother lives in the UK, so the visits vice versa is very limited and can get quite hectic with everyone wanting to visit friends and families. Precious moments thought.
I hope that the garden is coming along nicely! We are having some crazy rains on this side, so the garden is getting its fair share of water.
It has luckily healed by now. It wasn’t a good experience.
Yes… always hectic. To much to do in a very little time.
In 10 days we have to drive back to Ireland to sell the car. So on the way we stop in the UK and visit the rest of hubbies family.
We fly back and have some trains along the way. Will be fun.
The garden is doing as well as it can. Days are still cold and we had lots of rain too lately.
I discovered the first tiny cucumbers and some cherry tomatoes.
The beans are establishing too. Let’s see how it goes. Everything is very late here.
I am at 64 North… so it definitely will be a learning curve hahaha 🤣
Have a great week!
Oh wow, the garden sounds lovely really. I am jealous; I want to grow some beans and cherry tomatoes and cucumbers! I need to expand my garden a bit for all of them.
And the long "road trip" sounds nice though, but I know travelling can be burdensome! I hope that the visits along the way will be fun though, as that helps a lot!
Thanks ☺️
Let’s hope the garden stays well. I will be gone tomorrow for 2 weeks.
We can’t wait to start traveling. Just finished up packing.
Have a fantastic weekend 👋🏻☀️
That is really awesome! Enjoy the vacation and travel. Our new semester starts now, so it is back to work (or reality) for us! But I am sure the garden will do good, as I find when you leave it alone it actually does better. Keep well!
It is not really a holiday sadly. Just getting the car back to Ireland to sell… as it has the steering wheel on the wrong side for the country we live in now Hahaha 🤣
So getting from A to B the quickest and cheapest way.
You are right, gardens do what gardens do best. Ours isn’t in a good place yet as the last couple of owners had neglected it. So still loads to do.
Will be fun though.
Have a great weekend and enjoy going back to work.
Oh I remember now! Well, try to make it a holiday in short, haha. But I know, the travelling gets to one if you just want to get it over with. Being in the long distance relationship, I usually looked forward to flying, but now I just want to get it over with and it has become a really crappy way of transportation. But it is the only option we have!
True, garden's are fickle and funny things sometimes; what you want to grow usually never really wants to grow in that spot. The less we interact the better, but this is also not always an option! You want nice produce and this requires interaction and interference with nature's plans! All a delicate balancing act.
Have a great new week!
Yep, you understand me fully. It is a chore. But like you say, sometimes the only option.
I did have a few nice break stops where we could see some great things. Like a lock with beautiful views of little boats going through, or a waterfall and a cute city center where we had lunch and suddenly saw so e awesome murals around.
It did break the driving up a bit. Now I am on the 14 hour long ferry ⛴️⛴️⛴️ then 2 days driving again and another ferry ⛴️. Soon we arrive… soon 😊
Yes, nature is for sure a balance act. I want to plant a food forest, with lots of perennials that will maintain itself… one day. Probably not at 64N hahaha 🤣
Thanks! You too. Enjoy your week 👋🏻
