Runner and Dwarf Beans

Today we had a good crop of both runner and dwarf beans from our garden. So many in fact that we didn’t have any other veg's with them and the Quiche Lorraine, not even potatoes.

They were very yummy.

I also built this church with my Bayko, well according to the instruction booklet it is a church, I will let you decide, but I am not convinced.

Warwick Thai Festival

Jo and I went to the Warwick Thai Festival today, we had a Thai lunch from one of the many food stalls, Jo had chicken and cashew nuts with rice and I had Thai green curry with chicken and noodles, and very yummy they were too. We arrived at 11.00am so had a good opportunity to get some photos before the place filled up with visitors.

 

After midday the market square started to fill with visitors.

St. Mary’s Lands

This morning Jo and I took a walk around St. Marys lands, an area of wild meadow land and small wooded areas in the centre of Warwick Racecourse, and alongside Warwick Golf Course. An area that Warwickshire District Council want to build houses on. It would be a shame to lose such a wonderful area of natural beauty. Various photos of views, flora and fauna. There is an on-line petition against this scheme.

Home Grown

Jo picked our first home grown runner beans today.

 

She also dug up some of our p0tatoes. We had them for lunch today and very nice they were too, yummy.

 

One of my Chilli peppers has a flower at long last. I planted a selection of Chillies and Peppers, but until their fruits grow I do not know which plants are which, makes it more interesting.
