west country compilation

 

 

Things to do when you are in the west country:

 

 

 

1.  Meet up again with mister Fudge

 

2.  Marvel at the self sown melon in your sister's front garden.

( To get your very own self sown melon, put the seeds from the melon which you have enjoyed for dinner, onto the compost heap. The following year spread the resulting compost onto your flower beds and watch as an odd looking weed starts to grow and produce mini melons!)

 

3.  Go 'Gromit hunting' in the historic city of Bristol.

See Debs Dust Bunny for more info.

 

4.  Have a wonderful meal at the River Cottage canteen.

 

And finally, ignore the weather forecast which predicted wall to wall rain and revel in the sunshine at

Yeo valley organic garden

 

 

If, like me, you love gardening, growing veggies, cooking and eating, then this is heaven on earth!

 

Beautiful, inspirational  flower gardens,

a lovely vegetable garden - I particularly liked the space-saving squashes and courgettes growing up metal supports-

and a quirky tea-room selling delicious homemade food.

 

What more could you want!
