Gulliver's Travels 2013 thread!

[Foofy]

Well, for the past couple of years I have saved some ripe berries and put them in pots of earth and hoped they would come up in the spring.....but they never did! But this spring we were foraging around early June where there are some nice big hawthorn bushes, and mum spotted some tiny weeny saplings growing through the grass! They were hidden under the bushes, and usually any saplings get eaten by the wildies around there, but these were literally 2 tiny leaves on each one, so we dug them up and bought them home, and put them in the pots with some rough soil as compost is too rich, and for weeks and weeks they did nothing, and this last couple of weeks they have suddenly decided to grow

And now that they are growing, we went to Wyevale garden centre the other day, and found hawthorn trees for sale And only £6.00 each! So we bought 2

But of you look on ebay you can actually buy hawthorn saplings, as they sell them as hedging plants

Thanks Sara maybe I'll have a look on Ebay and at the garden centre then My hubby said to me this afternoon why don't I just buy some, so I think I will

Hello! Have you missed me? I've been a very bus bunny.....playing Candy Crush Saga takes a LOT of time!!!!! I'm on Level 167 now

I have been doing other things too.

I have visited the Ashley Heath car boot sale - it's humungous (sometimes gets filmed for TV car boot shows, but there were no cameras when I visited )



I didn't want to stay out for photos too long in case anyone bought me!



After a hard couple of hours at the boot sale I needed a relax in my deckchair:



And a nice cup of tea!!!



I found myself a new suitcase and trolley at the boot sale....



....but I don't think it will hold all my luggage....

I have also been practising my culinary skills. Here I am making a curry













A little tipple as I work....



Yummy!

I met the Chinese Moss Balls.

The evenings are drawing in, but it's pleasant in the twilight to go and sit by the chimnea.







I let the fire die down and out it out properly before I went indoors.

I've been to visit Buttercup, Dandelion & Clover.

Here I am having breakfast with Dan & Clo









And having a nibble on Buttercup's grass:



Saying hello from outside his garden.



There are still lots of yummy roses here to nibble on:

Beautiful roses, I don't think Dandelion and Clover are very happy to be sharing though
