We were given some home grown rhubarb before the weekend so thought I had better get using it, had some stewed apple in the freezer so got that out as well and made two crumbles. One to eat this week and then I have put four portions in the freezer.
After lunch I did a puzzle for a while and was really pleased to completely finish the cryptic crossword!
I went out into the front garden to try and tidy up the bed by the front wall and the area behind it. Those weeds and unwanted plants grow at an alarming rate!
I made a good start on the footpath area but just did surface clearing on the particularly wild area!
I had a cup of tea in the summer house and then Tina suggested that we get my new string of lights up on the summer house. She put up all the hooks as she is to taller than me. They haven’t been in the sun yet so it will probably be a couple of days before they light up.
Seems to have been a busy day so nothing strenuous this evening!
I like to see the sea with a bit of mist. Looks more like a homely place than a holiday place. Not many people about!
ReplyDeleteThe crumbles look good. I must try to remember to see if the plant in my garden had grown enough for one myself.
That bit of front garden with the slabs has soon weeded over. It doesn’t seem that long since you cleared that bit. So disheartening to see it with that many weeds again! You’ve cleared a fair bit in those two beds today. Definitely looks better. Bet you’re pooped after the walking and the gardening.
The lights will look nice of an evening once they get charged up a bit. Then you can have late evening outside cuppas 😊
I did a comment I thought, maybe I hit replay!
ReplyDeleteI like the sea when it is muted, just good to see it in different lights.
Did try the crumble and it is tasty.
I think the recent rain gave the weeds and unwanted plants a growth spurt, works better on them that the ones you are nurturing!
Amazingly the lights have come on dimly this evening!
