I write this on St Valentine’s Day. This year it has fallen on Ash Wednesday.
Last night I used some of the eggs I wrote about in my blog earlier in the week to make pancakes. They were very tasty – thank you to the BBC Good Food website for the recipe.
Here is one I made earlier …
This morning I helped plant three apple trees in a public space in our community. The saplings are called Cornish Aromatic, Cornish Mother and Sweet Lark. I also learnt that you have to plant them in a “square” hole rather than a round one. With a square hole the roots spread out. In a round hole the roots wrap around and create a root-ball.
Having been married for many years to the same man – Ian, we decided against exchanging cards this year.
So I had an idea to send a message of love in a different way.
We have a lovely Camellia in the garden which produces an abundance of flowers at this time of year. Sadly many of the flowers fall to the ground far too quickly. I collected up some of the beautiful waxy fallen flowers and made a “heart” on the grass in the garden.
Love to Ian on St Valentines Day and love for our natural world too.
