We were having coffee in our favourite coffee shop this morning when our favourite puppy, Tobi, went by with our friend N. In they came and just look at those eyes!
We arrived home to find a present on our doorstep. What a glorious Butternut Squash this is and it will make pints of delicious soup. Thank you so much S and M.
My lovely Mr S cut me a branch of our Twisted Hazel that had been waiting to be pruned and I have put all our beaded decorations on it. We bought many of them in Mapoch, the village where we volunteered in 2006, others in Eswatini ( used to be Swaziland ) when we drove through on a later trip.

He is adorable – and that’s coming from someone who generally isn’t fond of dogs, in fact, scared of most of them! 🙂

Tobi is a delight, so gentle and very sweet. I think the squash will make a great deal of soup! 🙂
