Morning all~~ (just )

Bit grey and drizzly here , has been for the past few days.
I haven't on for a few days ,a few unexpected things turned up.

Tues I was on my morning walk, talking to one of the villagers, who told me she going to a funeral in the next hour, it was my friend and neighbour, Dave's mother, he has a large family but I've always been the one he calls on with private or sensitive issues. Call me Marje Proops ! I've helped him thro 2 divorces and the death of a girlfriend, our son, his youngest son and his stepson are best friends.
I knew she was terminal but didn't realise she had died,so it was a mad dash home to change to get to the chapel (I didn't have the car but didn't need it for that) I knew my cousin Byron (aka my 'nearly brother.. he lived with us when we were children) would be there as his wife is Sue ( Dave's sister's) best friend,so I had a lift to the crem and was consequently out most of the day.
She, Christine had a lovely 'send off' , it was dignified obviously but she was quite a character, and Teifi the minister( a character himself ! ) had grown up with Dave, so the Eulogy was very loving and very humorous, a celebration of her life:)
It's only a small chapel, peeps where in the kitchen, in the anti room and outside full of the forecourt (same size as the chapel ) and overflowing onto the pavement! Just showed how much the family are respected and loved by many.

hi ,hope everyone is ok.
Maz,that might be nice but at the minute I am having probs with anxiety again so not sure if I can cope but will see how things go xxx

Hi all~~
Another good day:)

Son is still looking for jobs , no luck yet:(
But he's getting more shifts with As*a because the holidays, so not complaining or having to sign on yet !!

Just picked our first runner beans, could have done it at the end of last week, the early peas have gone over, late ones coming on fine, still picking potatoes and broad beans, and carrots now ready.
Red onions are lifted, white ones still in the ground, but beetroot not too good this yr :(
Ooh I love home grown veg:))

Gramps had a huge garden and was self sufficient for the whole yr with fruit and veg , so my aunt tells me ( she is 90 ).So did mum but she's sadly gone now. I remember him bring us fruit and veg, but I was only 5 when he died.
Dad also grew his own, but didn't pickle and bottle/ salt as many as Gramps did, and we didn't have a freezer until I was about 10.
Hubby loves gardening,all three men have been used to a big garden, but Gramps was the biggest.
Funny because the 3 men were in laws and their own sons didn't garden.
Glad my hubby does:))
