Peacocks and Sunflowers: Up the Downs

http://pikku-myy.blogspot.com/2015/08/up-downs.html

Thursday, August 06, 2015. When we had sung at Jevington, and received huge slabs of Victoria sponge in return (it is after all the centenary of the WI this year), we set off to our next singing destination, Wilmington, via a particularly lovely section of the South Downs Way.

Peacocks and Sunflowers: vegetable garden

http://pikku-myy.blogspot.com/2015/08/vegetable-garden.html

Thursday, August 13, 2015. A stroll around the big vegetable garden at Cold Comfort - the runner bean tepees look like something out of a story book. or maybe a gardening book. I don't care for runner beans as a vegetable - I detested the hairy texture and weird squeak of the pods as a child, and am not interested in the flavour - but I like the plants very much! Best thing to do with beans is to give them as much strong flavour of other things as possible, like garlic, ginger, chillies and sesame oil!

Peacocks and Sunflowers: February 2015

http://pikku-myy.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Saturday, February 28, 2015. This weekend dear old friends came to visit, and since they came in a car, we did some church crawling in the nearby Oxfordshire Cotswolds, which are impossibly pretty, even at this shabby and still-bare far end of winter. We stopped for lunch at the Swan at Swinbrook. It was busy but we were able to get a table without having booked. The food was delicious! I'd love to go there again in the summer, as it has a large garden. And we did see a swan, though not just here. Forgiv...

Peacocks and Sunflowers: sunny day starting

http://pikku-myy.blogspot.com/2015/08/sunny-day-starting.html

Wednesday, August 12, 2015. We drove back from Birling Gap in an open-topped Morris Minor. It was the kind of rare morning (and landscape) when/where it's hard to know quite what time period you're in! Back at Cold Comfort, Henry relaxed in front of a little Chicken Breakfast TV. He LOVES watching the chickens. Here, Nigel [sic] is having her breakfast. A little survey of the garden revealed lots of beautiful late summer flowers, some setting seed by now. Artichokes, now past eating but beautiful. 8220;R...

Peacocks and Sunflowers: morning, or and azure

http://pikku-myy.blogspot.com/2015/08/morning-or-and-azure.html

Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Morning, or and azure. The next morning dawned misty over the fields, but with promise of another bright and cloudless day to come. And at about 6.30am we drove down to the coast. To the beautiful, and at that hour deserted, Birling Gap. For a swim in the sea! Henry wasn't happy about it - his people had all gone into the Big Wet! Was he going to have to come in and rescue us all? We had to lock her in at home when we went to the beach. Glad Henry didn't have this instinct.

Peacocks and Sunflowers: Jevington church

http://pikku-myy.blogspot.com/2015/08/jevington-church.html

Wednesday, August 05, 2015. One weekend in August I headed Sussex-wards once more, to meet up with the Starkadders and the other usual suspects for a session of singing in Sussex churchyards! They were having open days and we provided a little light entertainment. We're now plotting a fundraising concert to help them put together enough for a loo. suggestions for appropriate lavatorial choral content, anyone? Jevington is obviously a much-loved and cared for church! One could repose in worse places!

Peacocks and Sunflowers: June 2015

http://pikku-myy.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Meanwhile in another part of the greenhouse. The Gardener has a lovely little collection of thriving carnivorous plants in one of the greenhouses, venus flytraps and pitcher plants. Maybe sundews are still to come. And in some cases, beautiful as well! I didn't know pitcher plants flowered! Here is a little video demonstration of how fast a Venus flytrap reacts to a 'fly' - or a plant pot tag.

Peacocks and Sunflowers: August 2015

http://pikku-myy.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 24, 2015. Alas, this is pretty much impossible to photograph. A pity, because it is pretty darn cute. I am of course partial. Monday, August 24, 2015. Links to this post. Sunday, August 23, 2015. Thanks to several of last year's Chaletites for a lovely collection of photos. One walk included a highly civilised croissant stop! One evening we put on Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. As a semi-staged production. I was Gwendoline. It made me feel very old. Dr DIY was L...Bathroom ...

Peacocks and Sunflowers: Wilmington churchyard

http://pikku-myy.blogspot.com/2015/08/wilmington-churchyard.html

Sunday, August 09, 2015. Is enormous and ancient. It's propped up with wooden beams - and chains! And it's still very good for climbing. View from the gate at the bottom of the churchyard. Judith being a sloth. Or George from the Famous Five? A couple of hours later, that view from the gate with deeper and warmer light as the sun drew further down the sky. Sunday, August 09, 2015.
