Pride Of The Sarf


I was at the end of the garden wondering whether it was time to give up my 'fruitless' gardening and start using the space for fires again when I was shocked, surprised and delighted to see that I had actually grown more than slug food this summer. Yes! A real life actual cucumber! Well who'd-a-thought-it!

On the other side of the hill the trees are heaving with unripe Chestnuts, so maybe I'm more a forager than a farmer.

Cheers

PS No Rex, I haven't forgotten, they're just aren't any worthy examples to send you yet.

    Just remember... the seeds for the downfall of human civilization were planted the day we left the nomadic hunter/gatherer lifestyle to become sedentary agrarians.

    Some of us will never be farmers. You're in good company.

Please feel free to leave comments. I really enjoy hearing what readers think. The rules are the same as round my dinner table:

You're welcome to disagree, life would be way too boring if we all agreed with each other and we'd never learn anything.
I like to think that we're all grown up enough to argue every last point, right down to the bone, without bearing a grudge afterwards.



Come on in the waters lovely
