...
on another note

precious little girl
but thats for another post
...

you might wanna check this out

pretty cool huh?

Another week flies by

and as summer moves on in i find myself dreaming of
the sports i love so much
and need to 'make the time for' more

i do miss my days with my rowing partners
and only ocassionally get to row in a scull these days
but when i do
i love it so much

i do still own this kayak since we moved away from the waters edge
but dont use it all that much
i must confess i do need a bit more 'braun' to help with the
lifting to the car roof

perhaps after making this post one of my fellow water sports lovers may
ring and invite me for a row
it often happens
putting it out there......:)

this gorgeous piece of art from garden mama...just superb little gem is up for grabs...go see
and have a happy energetic weekend
love to you :)x

ooooh...progress

minus one crafty teenager

we all spent saturday refurbishing

one scraggly old vege patch
hee hee...
he looks a bit scraggly too
my gorgeous Pierre

a remnant of the old

with additions on the way
with Erums' help
our Korean wwoof
staying with us for a few weeks
Erum has a really lovely presence
hard working too

this very heavily laden passionfruit vine strangling a very nice little mandarin
and tamarillo
the fruit is so close to picking
saved for now

and the semi finished product
all fenced
with gate

i just noticed the sprinkler
in the far right corner
must remember to turn this off before work today

my beautiful bay tree and
one lovely big rosemary bush
...
so that is some of our work for the weekend
the new garden measures 14m x 5m
if you click on the pics you will see a close up
i love the coriander and the dill is about to spring into a
beautiful head of yellow
all belonging to the umbellifer family
so gorgeous
will post more tomorrow or when i get time to get more pics
...
happy day
work hard..:)x
