What a wonderful thing technology is. I've taken shots of these globe artichoke before, but. Never with my phone. Typing. This is such a challenge. Wonderful to wave everyone off today and disappear. To the allotments. How comforting it was to get my hands back. Into the soil and rummage through the compost. Even the ironing with no. One home was a joy . I love my family, but i do love an empty House too.
