Camping photos

spot the difference

I’ve uploaded a few photos from a recent trip to London and camping in cornwall. We stayed a couple of nights near Axeminster in a bed and breakfast, taking in a meal at the River Cottage Canteen (very tasty) and a look at Lyme Regis (we didn’t find any fossils worth bringing home). Once we’d driven to Cornwall and pitched the tent for a planned four night stay, a barrage of non stop wind and regular rain commenced, and after a couple of nights we decide it wasn’t worth the fight and popped home early. But we’d had a couple of good days, fitting in a couple of surfing sessions, a coastal walk and visiting a castle and a couple of towns.

    The Cobb looks lethal. I wonder how many people get swept off it.

      indeed. I did stroll along it to near the end and given the epic wind and crazy waves it was quite scary. my trusty flipflops, however, gave me all the grip i needed!

    Hammering in those posts into the rock hard earth and removing the turf from the flower border to bulk out the raised bed have not only knackered by back but most of my other muscles as well!

    Thankfully, there isn’t much more to be done…

    Lulu ‘christened’ the patch with a No. 1 as the last sack of compost was being emptied. Fortunately, she was so distraught by the powdery nature of the soil sticking to her paws, that she hasn’t gone near it since.

The beginnings of the vegetable plot

Started work on the raised vegetable beds this evening. Hard work!

    That looks great. Remember to leave a small pathway alongside the fence, so you don’t have to step on the bed.

    We are planning to use the concrete fence supports as part of the raised bed (instead of more wood). I found some spare patio tiles and some bricks down the side of the garage. I though these could be used as stepping stones between the veg. Do you think that would work?

    That should work fine.
