Living the simple life

- can be hard work, but by God it's worth it!  The simple joys of a barefoot wander around the garden on a sunny autumn morning, picking flowers and other things for the house, handfuls of ripe red raspberries dripping with warm juice............ The rudbeckias were alive with bees; I love their sunny simplicity in a plain vase in the hall :) The best food needs no adornment - Italian flat leaf parsely in a jam jar, fresh for  kitchen snippings, the smell is incredible   Been an odd year for vegetable  growing, the courgettes are very  late indeed, this being the first one :) I will hae that for myself at suppertime I think, with my fishcakes :)   Content.
