Gardening at River Cottage...

I watched Oprah recently...
She had a man talking about healthy eating...
He had a book out...I wish I could remember the name of it...

He said...
'When you go to the grocery store, only buy food that your Grandma would recognize as food"
Point well said...

This is one of my Turnips in the vegie patch at River Cottage...
I can't believe that I have actually grown something...
Knowing my past record of killing everything that I try and grow...
I am impressed...
and would say if I can do it anyone can...

How Cool

Dear Friend...
How Cool is this book!!!
My Cool Caravan is just full of inspiration for us caravan devotees...
I went and saw the site and fell madly and deeply in love...
and after what seemed like no time at all it was at home with me...
I find that I am still flicking through the pages days later...and reading over and over again all about the treasures inside...
Like Constance...
One of my favorites...


It makes me want to fix up my sad looking Mr Vintage and Roma...
Oh the amount of work they need...
Maybe I just need to find a third one....hmmmmmmm...
After all you know I like collecting three of everything...
I do adore the Shepherds huts in the book...
How amazing ...I never knew of these...
One of them in the yard of River Cottage would be so sweet...

I do hope you have been keeping well my dear...Warming up with the fire going...
or sunning yourself by the sea...
If you are where it is warmer catch some rays for me...My feet are freezing at the moment...

Thank you too for thinking of me...
I know that my life has been rather hectic of late and I never seem to have enough time to spend chatting to you...
I do hope you are taking time out thou to enjoy everything around you...
Like a good book, a cup of tea and a few biscuits as a treat...
and you can always visit me and my granny ways as you know....
and I am sure to visit you too...
as I love catching up with your creative ways and absolute goodness...
Till then my dear....
just keep...
