Tuesday.


Back to normal life this blog entry. Friends of ours, Sue and Geoffrey (although they're also sort of connexions - they are son-in-law Mikey's Aunt and uncle) had lunch with us on Saturday. Soup and cheese.It was Geoffrey's first visit to Suffolk - he was pleasantly surprised.


Snapshot of fruit bowl on dining table. I know I've put up this sort of picture before; but this one is a bit special. All the fruit you can see is from our own garden. They are Red Windsors, from a small  tree we put in about five years ago, and have since fan trained.  We find that rather satisfying - home grown fruit.

It's a good feeling with the self-sufficiency! We've been self-sufficient in apples and runner beans this year.

Hello Rog. In the seventies/eighties we had a two acre garden with an orchard. we were self sufficient in fruit and vegetables; And, as we kept goats, ducks and chickens, in milk, eggs, and (to a large extent) meat. There was a book on self - sufficiency - very good it was, too. It was the 'in thing' for a while.
