Lunch in the sun.

For the 4th day running we've eaten our lunch outside,   the sky has been a beautiful deep blue and the temperature in the sun means we've been out in  t-shirts.  Yesterday was the cloudiest day we've had but still warm enough to eat out in the garden.

The vegetables are also appreciating this weather, the peas that went in on November  22nd are now appearing and all the habas (broad beans) are looking extremely good.  The potatoes that got frosted don't seem too bad - I think they are continuing to grow and it looks like there are new leaves coming up.

Still getting ready for Christmas - the trouble is that over the year we do things and somehow never quite finish them,  maybe a bit of paint here or there would be enough,  or a bit of finishing around the edges,  a touch of whatever to make it perfect. 

This has been that sort of a week and if you're visiting soon,  bring some dark glasses as  the paint work is gleaming!
