This is the millpond..

..that was Bantry Bay this morning.This is just what I needed after the bustle of getting Aedan off to school and before a super-busy day. I have guests arriving any moment; I have to collect and distribute pork to customers ; I have classes starting at 6.30; it's Fionn's 21st birthday.

I've picked and chopped leeks to make the sausages. And rosemary. I've staked (some of ) the tomatoes in the tunnel. The neighbour's cows got into the garden while I was giving Anna a french lesson at lunchtime. There's nothing like keeping one's self busy.
