1 We’re trying companion planting this year, Limnanthus, the Poached Egg Plant, with the Broad Beans and I love how it’s looking. The beautiful theory is that the Limnanthus will attract the aphids so they won’t attack the beans. I’m looking forward to seeing the flowers. My Mum loved the yellow and white of these little treasures.

2 Tabitha, wearing a cardigan I knitted, was a delight opening cupboard doors and exploring but pretending that she wasn’t really interested.
I’m not really trying to open the cupboard!

3 Our oldest daughter, Mikki, visited from Exeter today and spent the afternoon building an airport with Jake and then showed him some magic. Jake’s face was a picture as he did the ‘raisins in lemonade’ experiment. He loved the way the raisins sank to the bottom then came to the top covered in bubbles only to go down yet again.

To have a garden and also to plant vegetables or fruits are the most beautiful thing… Good Luck for your plants… They should be so nice to watch them… But there are so lovely your grandchildren, Tabitha seems so fashionable… I loved her cardigan, can I knit myself too 🙂 And Jake seems busy with lemonade… Blessing them. Thank you dear Sally have a nice new week, love, nia

Almond orange cake!!! THAT I would love. Alas, I’m not the type to spend long in the kitchen…
I love the ‘not rally trying to open the cupboard’! 🙂 So sweet.

I love Limanthus, such a cheery flower, and if it works as a companion plant then that’s even better!
