Ooooh, garden tea! One sack of horse poo, a load of comfrey, a few handfuls of oak leaves or barley straw and buckets and buckets of rain water, lid on and leave to steep for a couple of weeks. Boy it grows good vegies. Ahhhh yes, those were the days!
My outing was wonderful, lots of goodies brought home, so well planned the funny money account got down to 66 cents lol, so a top up has been done. On top of the vegies and the gorgeous multigrain loaf from the baker next door I scored one long thin hot water bottle and two gorgeous sprays of winterberry that our lovely florist got in for me specially. It was fun bringing those home on the scoot! Each winter I try to find a couple of branches, to pop in a big blue and white vase my Mum gave me for my fortieth birthday. It has a fat belly and narrow bottle neck shape so the branches look fabulous in it, and the colour just lifts the room on the dull days of winter. One year I managed to strike seed but I planted the best two shrubs in the wrong place and lost them in the second ground season. Sad too because of the four plants one was the only female... But I shall try again with the fallen berries from these two branches, and see how we go.
The coffee was great too, and my much embellished denim skirt got lots of comments, all positive too, so I came home a happy woman. Life is good here on the Shore today!
