The big news is, on Saturday, James and I will be moving into our new house in Bristol. I am so excited to have everything back out of storage and start again the challenge of making another rented house somehow our own. I can't wait to have my own kitchen again and to set up a nursery for Bump and, most of all, I can't wait till James isn't commuting 2+ hours every day to work and we will have some time to spend together in the evenings!
But I am sorry to be leaving the family home again. It has been a squeeze - six (sometimes seven or eight if the girlfriends/boyfriends stay) in a small cottage with one bathroom has occasionally been a little chaotic - but it has also been so good. I mean it has been pretty perfect being able to reap the rewards of a bountiful garden despite having put in none of the legwork first, not to mention waking up daily to the sound of chickens! Mostly though it has been so good to spend actual time with my mum and her partner despite their insane workloads; it has been so good to just be here and be with family again. I am going to miss this small, bustling house badly.
Moving news aside, these pictures are of the latest haul from the garden. The courgette plants are finally starting to die back but it would appear they won't leave without one last push. And the beans, well they certainly aren't going to be stopping any time soon! It is incredible that such a small space can produce so much.
The Curly Kale has however failed to thrive. Three guesses from the picture below who is responsible (and the first two don't count)!
Cheeky things.
I am going back now to sit in the garden; with only a few evenings left here I can't afford to spend them inside!
