Harvest Delights, Yum!





Tis such a scrumptious mouthfulness of delight to be able to indulge in your vegetable and fruits of the summer in the middle of winter! & just as well that there's room in the freezer too! I cooked up a lovely pot of chilli, with beans, capscicum, chilli and basil that was grown earlier in the year. It was yum! It also saves money... there was about two months worth of tomatoes during July/August that did not have to be bought. There were also so many grapes that I didn't mind sharing them with the birds and the bees! Plus they distratec the critters from the hanging basket of strawberries! I still have some rhubarb left, which is shortly going to be turned into a rhubarb crumble, with lashings of cream, yum! Some things didn't grow though... the carrots that started off so well suddenly disappeared overnight one evening, the squash grew lovely flowers and that was it's effort, while the peas only managed one pod! Ah well, at least they were tried.
I know that I can grow beans and tomatoes though...

Cyclarses!

I need to start carrying a big stick so I can poke it through the spokes of cyclarses who are not only cycling the wrong way down a one-way street, they are also doing it on the footpath! FOOTPATH, it's all kinda in the name isn't it! If it was a cyclepath there'd be a great big cycle painted on it with a painted strip down it to divide the path between cyclists and pedestrians!
The police in Woking are complaining that they've had budget cuts... well if they actually gave cyclarses penalty tickets for riding on the footpaths in Woking they'd rake the money in! I purposely counted how many cyclarses there are on my ten minute walk to the train station, down three different one-way streets and it's an average of two, yes, TWO OF THE ARSES!
So look out next cyclarse that I see, especially if you're the one that likes to ring your little cycle bell to make me move out the way so you can cycle on the footpath down a one-way street! This pedestrian has had enough! GAH!!!!!!
