The word today is Wet

Wet: Covered or saturated with water.
LOL it is raining here! just had to walk ouside and EVERYTHING is covered woth water, now including me!!!
Morning all. Sad day for me as I leave CAZ and her DH and the lovely village to return home to Cape Town. I have had such a wonderful time. Caz and I have done loads together, chatted, laughed, shopped and also been really busy!!! It's hard living so far away from family... But enough of this glum mood, I was busy taking a few shots of 'real people' yesterday, and guess who I chose? Yes Caz. Here she is tending her tomatoes (grown from seed in the little greenhouse behind her!!!) in her 'kitchen garden'.

Oh and I discovered another tree in the garden. It's elderberry. Read an article yesterday (in Country Living) about using elderberries to dye fabric. Wish I was staying a bit longer so I could try it.

And fennel also grown from seed... And finally cosmos grown from seed... For someone who was NEVER a gardener she has done so well. I just cannot believe that she plants seeds! So many of us just go to the nursery and buy seedlings.
Just a reminder of our childrens art competition at "It's a creative world". The prize is a a 20 pound voucher from ELC!!!
Thanks for visiting and love from Di XXX P.S. May not be around tomorrow as I fly home tonight...

I love the bird table!
Well done Caz for growing all those plants too.
We've got a elderberry and my friend Di showed me how to make face and body cream with the flowers. It's really lovely!
