Springtime 2018

Another year another Gardening season...the greenhouse has a few seedling appearing such as Tomatoes and Chillies & Peppers and outside the spring flowers are in bloom, but the weather remains cold and dull.   Been a very long, cold  and dreary winter I think...and just hope the summer makes up for it.

Romania Visit -Oct 2017

Flying over the Carpathian Mountains in Transylvania.

Quinces in storage

Onions in upstairs room

Pears in storage

Every year we go to  Romania in October as its my birthday and Dana's fathers birthday the same week, so whilst there we do some meals in  the kitchen involving the produce her father has grown that year. He also stores fruit & veg in the upstairs rooms wrapped in newspaper along with the onions  and squashes. I ended up chopping up one of the big squashes for a soup.  Her father also keeps a few bee hives as a hobby.
