Enorma and Plums

We have never had so many flowers on our Runner Beans the variety is Enorma and it seems that we are in for a bumper crop.

I think that we should have thinned the Plums there are lots of them but seem a bit crowded. I have no idea what variety they are but they taste very good when fully ripe.

Who needs slug pellets

With all the wet weather I wondered why I had very few slugs on my plot. Now I know why.

Family Tree

My sister has been exploring our family tree on our Dad's side. She has got back to 1806 and we were then all living in Chiddingstone in Kent.

She and I went to Chiddingstone last week. It is a really beautiful village and we found the grave of what would have been our great great uncle who died aged 7 which is in the village church, that is 136 years since his death.

My name is James Nye and up until last week I did not know that there was a place in America called " Nye County " which was named after someone called James Nye. Fame at last!!!!

Sorry for lack of posts

First of all good luck to all that have been affected by the floods. We really hope that you are able to get back to some sort of normality very soon.

Very sorry for the lack of posts but very difficult when you cannot use the computer. The picture shows the bit that I spent so long digging in the early spring. I shall write more later.

It is good to be back.

City Garden

I was working at a city livery company a few nights ago which had a wonderful garden surrounded by concrete and glass office blocks.

The big square planter was a Victorian water cistern which was salvaged from a building in Threadneedle Street.

It was an oasis, just feet away from the rush and noise of the city.

And then there were eight

Meant to post this a few days ago.
