The food, the flowers, the family, the friends

Morrie and Joan's back garden when a child,

The suburbs of North London.

 

Today - a sunny Devon garden.

 

Full blackberry baskets on Barn Hill

Not last year's small and wormy.

Big, juicy, - the leaf and shell tin, 9 small pies.

 

This year the coastpath bushes full of sloes.

 

Sing once for a good line

(it only needs to happen once).

Find one more.

Put the lines together.

 

Sing!

A sunny day bringing back memories? Rhiannon

Yes Rhiannon. Devon linking back to North London. Also my notion that we only need have one or two good experiences given to us  to know what goodness is and to then organise it for ourselves.

Keep pulling the lines together, Elsie Katz.

Sending warmth from Salamanca.

Cheers from Devon. I have a marathon day on Sunday. First my Dad's funeral in North London in the morning and the family gathering immediately after. Then one of my oldest friends is getting married in Bournemouth in the afternoon. Mum knows my friend Ruth and has kindly agreed that I can get on the 16.39 train and catch part of Ruth and Paul's wedding reception.Tickets all booked and work is giving me the day off tomorrow so keep you all posted some time after my return to little Exmouth on Monday evening. My boyfriend has been very helpful and so has my best friend in Exmouth who is looking after my two cats while I am away xxsmiley

I like this. I love nature and love to see or hear other people basking in it. I often look across the Bristol Channel at the North Devon coast. And what a coast. Trouble is, there's a lot of building going on around here just now. Bad cess to them.

Thanks for your friendly comment. I love visiting North Devon. Bideford has a lot going for it, the modern shopping mall is about 8 miles away so that provides shops for shoppers from far and wide and a reasonable supply of jobs while Bideford itself rmains unspoiled though a tad run down. It all kicks back to Beeching's railway cuts, Barnstaple kept its line, Bideford and Ilfracombe lost theirs...

Love Bristol too.
