Loose ends

 Tidying (honest!) cleaning, finishing all the food that won't keep for a fortnight...or freezing it...

A bus. "Trek" over to the gallery, where I filled up my printed cards of Culzean designs...the castle view had all gone!

And a photo from by the gatehouse....

I couldn't miss this one !




Then back to finally pack the bag ... hopefully.. successfully.

My first carrot this year...I think.it got a bit lost...but it was very tasty!!

That carrot apparently couldn't make up its mind which way to go! Have a great trip, gz. I am looking forward to your photos.

The stonework on that pillar is wonderful. And your carrot looks tasty.

Brilliant gatepost. I wish I could access some dry stone walling skills. We have plenty of the raw materials.

Carrots are just so hard to grow nice straight and long.
Well I can’t seem to do it. So that’s the one vegetable I just buy as I need it.
Maybe I’ll try again this year. You have inspired me to try again

Thinking about that I wonder if Sheldon would know of someone..I think I have mentioned his garden services business that he runs from Blenheim, Magpie Garden Services I think it is called

I love dry stone walls.

...when growing carrots, the soil is EVERYTHING!

Wonderful stone work and gate.
That is a unique looking carrot. Genetically modified?
Tomorrow starts your holiday and you must be looking forward to being in France.

Carrots don't like stones....even small stones!
