AROUND THE WORLD IN AN AFTERNOON

Here are some bits of Gwyn's garden. Pretty isn't it?

Posting #2 from me for today!! I haven't got a porch of my own but I thought it would be OK to borrow my sister's back porch.

There are two chairs under the canopy by the door for sitting on while it rains, as it is wont to do at not a moment's notice here in England.

The huge clock on the wall is so you can see what time it is when you open half an eye because the phone disturbed your afternoon nap. You forgot to unplug it again!

There's a strawberry tart for tea, Rhondi, made by my Lithuanian friend, Ingrida. She asked me to show her how to make one and I was only too happy to oblige. For some reason the sponge base got a bit stuck in the tin but - hey - you won't notice it when you pour on some lightly whipped cream! These are English strawberries too - sweet, succulent, lovely. Is there room for it on your table?

Please feel free to look around. She has a very big garden, my sister, so there's always plenty to look at - even if she hasn't had time to pull all the weeds out. Some weeds have very pretty flowers! Others have v-e-r-y long roots. Little Grandma used to say that was because the devil had hold of them 'Down There', only she didn't actually say 'down there' out loud. She used to just mime it while stabbing her index finger downwards. A bit like comedian Les Dawson used to do when he was on about women's trouble!

Wasn't it a lovely idea of Rhondi's to host this party! A great annual event. I'm off to visit a few more Porches - see you there!
