    I don't always look in here, but that's great that they're doing well for you @Yviestevie :)
    I don't think any of mine are near fruiting stage, but I've planted most in the front garden now, so the birds and other wildlife will mostly be enjoying them rather than us.  ;)

    I meant to post this  a few days ago, then forgot, so as I'm here now...

    Very cute 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    It was school sports day this morning. Who knew? Sitting by pond I saw lots of dragonflies in the wheelbarrow race.

    RTBC is my 5 water butts which were nearly empty are now full. We've had the equivalent of a months rain in two days.

    There aren't many reasons to be cheerful about the weather this spring & summer - but we have one:  the purple sprouting broccoli is still producing usable sprouts.  We had some (probably the last) for lunch today.   :)
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Ate the first strawberry. Let's hope I can enjoy the others before the woodlice do.

    My RTBC is the BBC using the remix of CC Peneston's "Finally " for their Wimbledon coverage this year. 
    That's the mix we had playing as we left the Registry office after we got married.

    Jack Draper rocks!  Now I need a cup of tea and a lie down before shouting at the TV again and Andy Murray.
