Happy Birthday Granddad!

appy Birthday Granddad!

I hope today is a lovely day for you, that the mountain is covered in snow and the sun is shining. Sorry we aren’t there to hang out. I can’t wait to see you again, hopefully soon,

Much love, your youngest grandson, Mister Wrigglesworth.

Albie made and launched a rocket at the Space and Science festival today. He just about split his sides with excitement and pride. Explosions, rockets, math craft. All over it.

The triumphant sight and sound of a sunshiney Friday afternoon at the end of May. 💥🙏✌️🌞

Harvest basket at the beginning of winter. We’re in a spot of cabbages and kale, cabbages and kale. I can see the next harvest of broccoli and cauliflower, but boy are they taking their sweet time now that the temperatures are dropping. So we’re left with these stalwarts. Transformed them though, in half an hour, to okonomiyaki and kale chips which we had with some sesame rice, chilli and soy and which the boys devoured. Fred asked last night what was in kale chips. He absolutely loves them, so we dared not say kale. We said olive oil and salt. He was pleased with this and continued to eat a bowlful.

Thanks Mother Nature! This is the quickest way I’ve found to make a new vegetable bed. Well, tbh, it’s quick to make and then long to cook - but if you don’t need it immediately, it’s totally the way to go. No- dig allows nature’s process to create rich fertile soil for you. The cardboard at the bottom smothers the grass, and calls the worms in. It’ll be gone by the time we plant in here. All the rest of it is just decomposition at work. We keep layering on layers of organic matter across the whole garden - like a forest does to its floor. It keeps the soil happy and healthy and active, suppresses weed growth and retains moisture. Win and win and win.

Happiness is.... a beastly home grown head of organic broccoli 🥦
