| 16th May 2008 Higblog | tractor price - From: bluebells, orchids and a tractor! sorry, didn't ask, but we couldn't help thinking of George. Yes, it does all look lovely at this time of year, and the beans and cougettes are in, and tomatoes in the sun room. and lettuces in the old fish tank (makes a great cold frame). We cut paths in the hay field so we can walk through it and look at the flowers - it really is spectacular in June, and I like to get amongst it. I DID have plans to cut the outline of Britain, but it got too complicated. Please do come and stay, we'd love it! |
