Another busy month in the garden.....
 |
| First crop of radishes 31st May |
 |
| First small bunch of sweetpeas 9th June |
 |
| I have enjoyed spending long days working on the wall and have made good use of the garden carrier made for me by Steve for my 60th birthday. |
 |
| I am hoping to make a seat in this bit of wall and grow some taller hedging plants on top to hide my short cut into the farmer's field. |
We have visited several NGS gardens. (Private gardens that open to raise money for charity.)
 |
| This lovely garden on Exmoor belongs to a friend from the Bridge Club. |
I am also pleased to report that we have found a jolly good supplier of local fresh fish.
Dan the Fish Man who we met up with at Appledore Quayside and bought lobster and Turbot.
 |
| My mother was very pleased with this little lobster. |
We have been for a couple of walks along the Tarka Trail
 |
| Tarka Trail near Fremington |
 |
| There was a very high tide in the estuary. |
I'm getting used to retirement, but don't want to get old too quickly. We used our old people's bus passes for the first time last week. Quite handy to travel to a nice French restaurant and not have to worry about driving home and the buses come every 10 minutes!
On Tuesdays I volunteer at the Old People's Home so that makes me feel a bit younger. I have been helping some of the residents grow salad crops in the garden and we have been making things for the summer fayre.
 |
| I added some macramé bracelets to our stall and enjoyed meeting a few more locals. |
I am gradually settling into this new life and seem to be busy enough most of the time.
 |
| Today I picked a slightly bigger bunch of sweet peas! |
