What a delightful day I have had! This morning we worked at Community Roots with the best of people and I planted seeds for onions and shallots.  Our youngest volunteer washed leeks with help and others planted beetroot and spinach in one of the poly tunnels.

This afternoon I have baked cakes for tomorrow’s Community Roots AGM – an English Cherry Cake and, my favourite, a Victoria Sponge.  I learned a new trick to stop the cherries all sinking to the bottom but I won’t know if it has worked until it is cut tomorrow evening! I’ll let you know.

In the winter, when the trees are leafless, we can see the sea from our bedroom window.
