:: Pause ::

Some of you may have noticed that I've been on a bit of a pause. Not a break, just a pause. Life's platter has been a bit full for me at the moment and getting this month of May as breathing space has been needed. I hope to be back into the blogging world in the next couple of weeks, when I have the time and energy to enjoy thinking and writing about food again. I look forward to catching up with everyone very soon.


In the mean time, here are some signs of life from my garden. The purple flowers are from some (admittedly overgrown) chives and the white flowers are the buds of strawberries. The edible things are growing - as are the weeds, but let's move swiftly on - and all the gifts of summer will be very welcome in my kitchen.



See you all soon.

    Might be something in the air. I took a short one also. Garden looks good! Enjoy.
    Pause is fine, nice to know things are normal -whatever that means ;))

    So pleased to see you are still in the land of the living (blogger). Enjoy your pause and your garden.

    I am an allium freak and have different ones all over the place. I have chives planted in different parts of the garden, some for eating and some for their beautiful delicate flowers. Come to think of it, I have quite a lot of herbs planted specifically so that they can go to flower and seed just because they are so delicate and beautiful (as well as really good on the smelling front!)

    Sometimes a break from blogging is just what you need. This is meant to be our hobby and, as such, meant to be FUN! I think we sometimes lose sight of that, so good to see you taking a step back. Enjoy Real Life and we'll be here when you get back.

    Vegetation is lovely indeed, but there is nothing better than the edible variety :) Best wishes to you, Anne Marie

    It's the 'new thing' you know. Blogging breaks, they're good for the soul.
