How does my garden grow?

Well … no silver bells, or cockle shells, no little maids all in a row … but green is starting to appear on the brown background! Yes, kale is growing, as is pepper cress. No sign yet of potatoes or asparagus, but it has been rather cold. Garlic is doing really well and walla-walla onions are slowly adjusting to life in earth.

I don’t have a lot of spare time these days as I am studying for a travel industry exam in addition to working with clients who want a special trip to Turkey, planting new crops, walking my doggies, cooking yummy meals, making granola and biscotti, sewing, ironing and … watching series 5 of Mi5. This has to be the best series I have ever watched, with brilliant writing. Of course, it is from the BBC and available from the library or your local rental store.

It’s Easter weekend. I love this public holiday for many reasons. I especially remember when the girls were young and we used to dress them up in their easter bonnets for Easter fairs at their school in England. Those were fun days!

Enjoy your Easter and make it about family and home rather than chocolate!
