BBQs and flowers

Last weekend me and Baz had an evening BBQ at the allotment. Was really nice. Kinda funny though as we used a whole load of charcoal and our vegan sausages and burgers took all of 5 minutes to cook....bit of a waste but it did serve as a heater while we sat there for a bit after eating. Really peaceful up there in the evening. Here are some pics:



This is Henry the resident seagull. I have a feeling I might have mentioned him before but got his name wrong...


And here are some more pics which are from the 7th July (my sister's birthday).... They are mostly of flowers, which are everywhere at the moment, and none of which I know the names of!

 This is one of the crops doing really well, and not surprisingly it was something we didn't attempt to start ourselves...! This and the one below is the squash or pumpkin (not sure which) Andy from next door gave us.



 The first blackberries we've seen (at our allotment that is, not ever).

 Yay! They're surviving! This is the cauliflower..




So even though there isn't an abundance of things we have grown, who cares, there are a few things, and lots of lovely flowers to look at. Which are a good distraction from my silly mind and moods, if only for a brief while.

We didn't make it up there this weekend, we were too busy looking at museums in London and having roast dinners and swimming in the sea. We planned to go yesterday but thought we'd go tomorrow instead. So until then........ -x-
