What has been keeping me away from the plot you must be thinking? Well, yesterday I visited my friend Annette's farm, Myer Bridge Farm, nr Southam, Annette is my best friend, we grew up together and have remained friends since our school days. She has been on the farm for 4 years, along with her husband Gavin, and I really like to go and visit because I can lose myself over there, and we do lots of farmy things!
On Tuesday we pottered around, first we pricked out some chilli plants, and picked some fresh strawberries, then we cleaned out the barn, which is where Ernest the naughty (teenage) donkey lives. He's a very lovable donkey as well, but he does have a habit of trying to take a bite out of any part of your anatomy, especially if you are silly enough to turn your back on him.
Juicy and fresh |
I'm off to bed now so I will fill you in on Wednesdays activities tomorrow (most of the afternoon was spent watching the action from Royal Ascot), and I will also have some allotment news as I will be spending a good few hours on my plot!
Now, I wonder what colour hat the Queen will be wearing tomorrow?
