carol singers

the carol singers came to Scenic Drive on Christmas Eve, of course those viewing this on ipad wont see it but you should see it if you are on a pc. Can you see it Heidi on your samsung?

Boxing Day

Also a good day weather wise, so four of us set off for a six km walk along an old railway track which started up near Heidi and finished over near Joan, where we were yesterday.

Christmas Day

We had the best weather or a few years.   The day dawned warm and the sun stayed out, what a change.   We had lunch with Joan and Las, in their lovely garden under a golden ash tree.   The food and the company were excellent.

All wrapped up and ready to go

Gingerbread time

Heidi and I made three Gingerbread Houses this year, seems such a long time since the Gingerbread frenzy we used to have, three was a comparative doddle.

And plaited up

it looks even better:

Purple Garlic

Whichever way you look at it

That way, or this

It's our best crop of garlic in the history of Newham Snr Garlic Growing!

Should keep us going for a while.
