Pots and pots on windowsills

Tomatoes
A new plant for us – luffas. If they really grow and fruit we can dry them and make luffas for bath time!
I planted six conkers and this one is growing apace

There are plenty more seedlings on every available windowsill and I will be happy when they are ready to go where they belong – outside!!!

Cows have long memories

We sold Lucy and her daughter Lily last summer. They were bought by a young couple in a nearby village and joined three other cows where they have been well cared for. Last week Lucy and Lily gave birth to calves and this afternoon we went to see them. Their owner and her aunt were standing by the barn. As we drove up Lucy and Lily started bellowing. We were assured that they only “kicked off” as we entered the yard. Truly.

Lily came over to me and sucked my hand again and again
