Grey

O.k. So this pic, is a bit non ??????? GREY... That is what it has been, the last week or so.
The garden has still grown, and everything in Soggibottom Cottage is fine, (apart from having to have the light on, and waste energy) BUTTTTT..

It's er... August.... AUGUST?

Rain, drizzellllleeeeeey bits......Where is the Sunshine. I know... it's moved to Dubai......
I love to chase turtles on reefs in the Maldives, but I'm here, and don't want to be anywhere else in the world. BUT........Come on Devon....



A few year ago I planted 5 banana seeds.

5 came up and grew. So that might have been in Surrey...This is Devon, things should grow.

One in 7 banana seeds came up this year. Is it ME?

Love where I live.

Come on sun S H I N E .

Not much left

We were starting to get fed up with courgettes.
Thanks to http://ziggwigs.blogspot.com. Where you can find the recipe.
The courgette soup was destined for the freezer, but it was so good we ate it.




I altered the recipe slightly, using vegetable stock and one pint of liquid so I didn't have to add cornflour. Loads of unpeeled courgettes, and a dash of homemade horseradish sauce. Yum.............

Bear time again

The latest bear.
Only going to make 4 from this pattern.
Two already have homes. So if you want one.
Let me know, they go to new homes quick enough that they don't gather dust in Soggibottom.

Audience of one

Shame the weather drenched the village Church fete, but we did watch one little fellow, we think he was the only one who could be bothered to sit on a wet seat. Or maybe the magic guy wasn't that great.



The last time we went to the fete was a couple of years ago. Blazing hot sunshine .. WHERE ?

Amie's boat at Plymouth

Could we have found a cannon to fit our cannon ball?

Maybe not. These two look a tad too big. (we would never get them inside to sit beside the fireplace anyway).



Amie really wanted to go onto the beach yesterday, you might be able to tell in the way her lead is tight.



Last one of Plymouth....... I've forgotten to post Amie's boat. See it tomorrow......

Plymouth Hoe

Might have been raining down the road from Plymouth, but apart from getting blown away in the wind we had a great time.
