Lots of potting on of various brassicas at Community Roots today. The chives are flowering well.
The poppies in one of the poly tunnels are remarkable.

Today, on Facebook, I saw a delightful postbox topper honouring Moominmama and I asked the maker, Lewis Delderfield, if I could share it here. Many of you will remember Ti, our dear friend with whom we used to share poetry and who died last year aged 105! She loved the Moomins and as soon as I saw this, I thought of her and how much she would have loved it and probably would have known that it’s the 80th anniversary of the Moomins. Thank you so much to the maker for allowing me to share Moominmama knitting on here. .

I never heard of the Moomins . . . it looks like Snoopy from Charlie Brown to me. 😀

Look up the Moomins by Tove Jansson. I think you would love them for their gentle philosophy. I know what you mean by the Snoopy likeness. 🙂
