We’ve just spent a week away in Suffolk enjoying the countryside and some fine weather too. The warm weekend of the 08/09 extending into the beginning of the week.
At the weekend we visited the National Trust property at Flatford Mill where Constable produced some of his most well known paintings such as the "Hay Wain". Surprisingly the scene hasn’t changed very much since he painted "Willy Lotts Cottage" way back in 1821.
To be honest I think we picked a better day for our visit than when Constable did his painting or perhaps he just used a bit of artistic licence. I don’t suppose we’ll ever know. If you wish to refresh your memory of Constable’s "Hay Wain" it is pictured here.
On returning home I’d expected a garden greenhouse full of ripe tomatoes but it wasn’t the case. I was struggling to find a couple of ripe fruits for a sandwich. Perhaps there’ll be more ready for harvesting in the plot greenhouse.

Glad to hear you had a good week away. I think the later holidays have been better than earlier ones this year weather wise. Hope you found more ripe tomatoes in the plot greenhouse, I think I shall be removing my fruit from the plants shortly.

ReplyDeleteWe did have lots of ripe tomatoes in the plot greenhouse. I can't explain the reason why the plants are so different between the two greenhouses. On a positive note it should extend our cropping season a bit after a very late start. No ripe tomatoes until September!
