More allotment...

In the allotment group we were talking about things to plant/grow this year, that is, what would  be the best seasonal vegetables to plan for. Suggestions  included: lettuce, spinach, garlic, broad  beans and sprouts .

A day spent weeding

We did a bit of weeding in the allotment today. The peas are growing but we didn't have to water them because  it's been raining here.
We went to a different café today, where I had my normal cheese burger and chips. I really miss Lou Farrow's, which is still shut because they're turning it into a restaurant. A restaurant, for heavens sake!  I don't think we'll be going there for lunch!

Reflectiing on the year

Last week was Bede's Christmas Fete. It was very  busy...too busy! we sold  everything. I bought a blue shirt.
It's been a good year. I've  enjoyed coming to Bede on Tuesdays and Fridays. I've enjoyed writing my blog in the blog group. It's been a sad year too because I lost my friend Gary. I think about him every day. He died so young and so suddenly.

Christmas wreaths part two.

I finished off my Christmas wreaths  today. I cut some branches of spruce and wrapped the foliage around the rings. Then I decorated then with bauble, stars, and green ribbon.

Cooking on Saturday - my own homegrown squash and potaToes

We dug out our potatoes today - not with a spade or a fork, but with our hands! I also picked my squash. I'm going to cook them at the weekend.

On Tuesday 8th December, Bede is holding its annual Christmas Fete from 11 to 2pm.

  

Christmas Wreaths Part One

This week  we started making Christmas wreaths. We wrap paper  and wire  round a ring frame and I made two today. Next week we will decorate  them.

                                                                                                                               

Peas go in

I haven't much time today so I have to make this  short. we  planted  the peas in  the beds today and we wrote out labels for them.
