We have also begun a small blueberry patch with 2 American and 1 New Zealand blueberry bushes.
The final piéce de resistance is the Walnut tree that MK is hoping will provide her with bounteous nuts in the future. Also note that J is sporting his new coat and boots.
J also helped us to move the raspberries from under the dining room window the the new "fruit corner" of the garden.
The garden looks good.
ReplyDeleteI note that you & J dress alternately, red/blue.
Is this a conscious decision?

In one of the first letters I ever wrote to your mother I said I was "sitting under a plumB tree" - she never forgot it - well not for years anyway!
ReplyDeleteThe dangers of lead are now well documented.
Your weekend labors will be amply rewarded in the spring.

The dangers of lead?
ReplyDeletePlumbum - Pb symbol for lead.
ReplyDeletePlumb bob - lump of lead on a string
Plum tree - no B!
just thawing out after riding up Flagstaff - no need to carry much water but definitely need to carry warm jacket for coming down!
I always think of Alison Plumb who I believe was with a B, my mistake on the fruit front
ReplyDeleteW
Well, I didn't pick up on the errant "B".
ReplyDeleteMy only excuse is that it was late at night at theend of a long, hard day.
Plumbum used by plumbers - how many times have Itaught that?

But do you remember my letter to you Gill?
ReplyDeleteI was boating with David Lush

It is clear that Jeremy is descended from farmers!- he holds the spade like a pro!

On this particular picture of Jeremy in all his Winter padding next to the walnut tree, I see some resemblance to a South Park figure :-)! No offence to him or his parents, he looks adorable - but after having seen him in the kids clothes shop being forced to try different one-piece winter suits (flyverdragter!?), I'm sure he likes shorts and a t-shirt in Summer better! So do I!!! Where did Summer go? Oh yes, there WAS NO Summer!
ReplyDeleteWRM I do remember the letter, you were on the lush boat near Evesham, I believe.
ReplyDeleteThe "Piddle"s spring to mind.
I think J looks "South Park"
I've never dared to say it.
m
What is "south park"?
ReplyDeleteWRM
what's a plumbum, plumbob I understand. Bemused.
ReplyDeletePlumbum is latin for lead, hence its symbol, Pb.
ReplyDeleteA plumber works with plumbum, lead water pipes - I suppose that he/she should now be called a plasticer/PVCer.
