Abstract Thursday - Pattern - Done!

I spotted this pigeon feather sparkling  with raindrops in the garden on my way to the greenhouse. An overnight visitor had been nibbling on the broad bean &hollyhock  seed I planted the day before yesterday so reinforcements were needed. My request for a humane mousetrap futile. Fingers crossed it can't get through the mesh I've used on the flower seed. The first batch of broad bean & onion sets moved up to the allotment in the drizzle. The packs fitted in the boot of my car perfectly. The new batch will have to live outside, which is a shame as I really wanted them to be a bit further on for when I plant the 3rd batch directly into the ground on my allotment. Never a dull moment here. What a fiasco!

I managed to buy an in-store  baked baguette, & bag of plain flour, the only bag left on the shelf in the Coop, yesterday there was none. No meat, very little fruit & veg. The only meat product in the Spar was a fresh delivery of Chinn's sausages which I normally buy so bought a pack. Oh, and the newspaper of course.

A few hours on the allotment are needed tomorrow ... please let it be dry.

A hearty veg & bean stew tonight with fresh white baguette. Parsnip, swede, & leeks fresh off the plot, borlotti & runner bean beans from the freezer.

"What's that bread we've been eating"
"It's sourdough from the Coop"
"I can only eat that or Warburton's, I can't eat white bread so don't go buying that"

And then he climbed the stairs to bed.

Thanks to Ingeborg for hosting Abstract Thursday.
