It is almost a year since we moved to Devon and this will be my final blog post for the time being.
Summer has been fun. We have enjoyed having a succession of visitors. I have relearnt how to bake scones and have provided a few Devonshire cream teas!
 |
| Ready for visitors! |
In my last post (June 2016) I showed my first pickings from the garden. Two bunches of sweetpeas and a small bunch of radishes.
The garden has provided continuing produce and entertainment through the summer months.
Produce
 |
| A good supply of runner beans |
 |
| Plenty of radishes |
 |
| Beetroot |
 |
| A good crop of chillis |
 |
| Enough to pickle |
 |
| I picked sweetpeas for 3 months |
Entertainment
 |
| Paul has been building a rockery for his modern miniature daffodils and other alpines |
We have enjoyed using the firepit Paul gave me for Christmas.
 |
| Fish and chips in the garden with Sam |
 |
| Discussing the meaning of life etc. with Mark |
I have also had time to track down local sea food
 |
| Tasty Clovelly lobster! |
And of course play Pokémon Go....
 |
| I am level 21 now and have 76 Pokémon in my pokedex! |
But now Summer is coming to an end along with my first year in Devon. I think I am gradually adjusting to retirement. My plan for the coming year is to avoid too much planning...
 |
| Final bunch of sweetpeas for this year. |
I suppose I could do a Pokémon Go blog....
 |
| I caught this one in the van |
What a happy retirement...
