Having spent what felt like an eternity yesterday doing the shopping, I finally got round to making Sunday dinneer using the first batch of runner beans this season. I am so pleased that something in the garden survived the enourmous slugs this year and homegrown beans taste so good that I would never buy them.
I also managed to a bit more on the "mediteranean" style patio. I bought some glazed wall pots yesterday and have filled them with geraniums and trailing fushias, and have put a couple of lavender bushes in some old terracotta pots that I found abandond at the end of the garden when I first moved in. So, it is all starting to look a bit more inviting. I just need to buy a small table and a couple of chairs!
Having done all this I spent a relaxing evening sat with a bottle of beer on my kitchen step watching a large bat (I call him Bert!) making his regular big swoops up to the guttering and back, catching moths and flies! True relaxation!
