Hello, and thanks for visiting! A couple of months ago a good friend nominated me in one of those Facebook challenges you may have seen doing the rounds - 7 black and white photos over 7 days from your ordinary life, excluding people and pets, posted without explanation. I accepted the challenge, and enjoyed the process so much that I was soon wondering how I could extend it. This blog is my answer. The photos won't always be in black and white - I've long understood how important colour is to me - but I plan to adhere to the other rules of the challenge for a full 365 days and, in doing so, tell the story of the next year in my life. Knowing how I struggle with discipline, especially self-discipline, I imagine this process will throw up quite a few challenges for me but hopefully that will all be part of the growing and learning process. There will be little or no explanation posted, though I'll be happy to chat in the comments, and I hope you find something here to enjoy.

Spending Other People's Money

  1. spending other people's money has to be slightly nerve wracking

    1. Haha - it used to be, at first! Like most things, it gets easier with experience, and now it's my favourite kind of spending! ;) I get to do quite a bit of it in the winter months as that's generally when all the planting schemes are done. It's nice to shake things up a little - both in the customers' gardens and in our routine. Nurseries tend to be cold, exposed places in winter though outside (or even inside) the polytunnels - the inevitable coffee and cake stops are doctors' orders!

  2. I thought it might be Minestrone soup you were preparing yesterday, looking at the ingredients...I think Minestrone has to be one of best soups ever..and, it has to be home made!

    And, going back to the stuffed peppers, you can really make your own stuffing, one you would enjoy the most, but, use plenty of olive oil..if you wanted you could keep the peppers upright, cut the top off, remove seeds etc..put stuffing into the whole pepper, pop the top back on and roast it that way..!
    Well...l'm off for a lemon tea and a sticky bun....mmmmmM! :).

  3. I now have a freezer drawer full of Minestrone! And it turned out quite well, if I say so myself. :)

    Hope you enjoyed your lemon tea (Earl Grey?) and sticky bun.
