Life and times in Norfolk

Life and times in Norfolk
Life and times of a South African and his partner, 2 dogs, 9 chickens and an Afrikaans cat all happily living in a seaside cottage on the North Norfolk Coast.

Orchids, Chilli's, Tomatoes, Roses and Allotment Booty

Today was a busy one, everything around us here appears to be in bloom or ready to harvest, the roses in our garden have sprung to life again and these gorgeous pinky flowers smell HEAVENLY, the large variety of chilli's I planted earlier in the year and have tended and fussed over since, have mostly flowered and are all slowly producing tiny chilli's that are just loaded with fire. I pulled up yet more potatoes, we collected the strongest smelling leeks ever from our allotment, along with some Rhubarb, Sweetcorn and yet more  Patty Pans! Our Tomato plants are weighed down with the volume of tomatoes (Money Maker - produces an extra ordinary amount of tomatoes)
A friend of ours came to stay and gave us this miniature Orchid that's bursting with flowers, I have it next to the bed and every morning (apart from Hubby) it's the first thing I see - a beautiful start to the day.
