Mangetout

What a great name I always think. Garden fresh but sadly not from our garden.

Our neighbour came across with them, she was after a swap - mangetout for . . . newspapers! She wanted newspaper for her compost bin and we are well known for always having newspapers, of the best quality too!

A dull day, but we are continuing our big clean and sort out campaign. Amazing what two of you can accomplish in a few hours. A thorough clean and a sort of cupboards and drawers. One bit at a time. Then I was sewing, reading and putting together a book of our French holiday. I think G was watching . . .

Alice sent the extra photo. The three girls have arrived in Paris today. They are going with their dad to the Olympics all day (and evening) tomorrow. How he got tickets we have no idea, but it’s very exciting.
