Here is a weekend treat for all you lovely vegetable people.
I took my mother out to lunch at Cowslip Workshops. I think that I had imagined we would sit and chat while we ate lunch but what she really wanted to do was wander around the vegetable garden. "It's so inspirational" she said.
"My beans are not so advanced as these - I was late putting up the sticks. I will cut them in advance next year. Oh! That parsley! My guinea pigs would love that parsley!"
"Look at those onions! They are almost good enough to enter into the Produce Show. Now let's look in the polytunnel - have you ever seen so many tomatoes?"
"Of course I have to have a fence because of the rabbits. It is so high now that it is quite difficult to climb over. I suppose I should have a gate or something."
"Can you stand there, Alice, I want a picture of you. Yes, there. Why not? Yes right there, with the cabbages."
So... that's another unforgettable photo of me in the family album then.

lol, stand there with the cabbages :-) that is an inspirational garden indeed.
ReplyDeleteI think I was human scale - they were very big cabbages.
DeleteI love your mother.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you! I do too even if her zest for life leaves me feeling about ninety.
DeleteSuch enthusiasm is inspiring! You will smile whenever you see that photo.
ReplyDeleteNot if it is put on The Dresser next to the photos of my sisters in their wedding dresses.
DeleteBLUE cabbage? That's worth a picture to me.
ReplyDeletePerhaps we were swapped at birth - my mother would love a daughter who was knowledgeable about cabbages.
DeleteAt least she didn't ask you to get out of the way so she could get a closer shot of the cabbages. Your mum sounds great.
ReplyDeleteShe thought about it but then she decided the she could 'kill two birds with one photo'.
Deletepriceless x
ReplyDeleteMissM thinks I am already showing signs of becoming 'just like Grandma; - which is worrying.
