Breakfasting on fresh figs, first pickings from the tree, really honeyed sweet flesh. Last year I began picking a week earlier! Would have thought with all the lovely sunshine of late they would have been earlier. So worth waiting for. Listening to delightful sounds of an Armenian choir, this floated into my in box via http://prettygreenbullet.com/ thankyou ghadah

Fresh flowers
Its Friday, always used to by flowers myself this day. Havent done so in awhile, too hot and they dont last, too busy to get to the shops, just got out of the habit. Here are many happy flower memories, some bought for me, some bought by me, all photos taken by me.
Foody things
Foods I have grown and eaten, painted, the food my daughter has grown and food I have photographed

Shaved beets
tonight’s dinner was a real feast to the eye, so much so that I just had to take a photo !! It tasted just as good as it looked, with shaved beetroot, apple, carrot, cucumber and courgette with mustard and lemon vinaigrette and after the photo I added toasted cashews. For me to enjoy my food it has to look nice too, I eat with my eyes…………. I have been growing courgettes and french bean in huge pots outside my office, pleasantly surprised at how prolific these have been.
