May Day Weekend

Its May Day weekend. Already my peach tree has set 10 peaches .... this will the best year for fruit if they all stay. Its also a fitting that the peach tree was a wedding gift and on Friday was our 10th Anniversary. DH bought me a lovely braclet set with amber =)

Last weekend we were with the familly for my Mother's 80th Birthday. We suprised her with a garden party and about 35 friends and familly.

I have been busy stitching the last door for the Master Class. Yes finally getting round to finishing although it was hard to put the doodle work down. I have also done 99% of my jumper. Sadly did not finish it yesterday morning as it would have been great for going to Butser (see below). If I can get the jumper made up by Monday morning, perhaps I will post a picture too !

The garden is generally coming along well. As the weather has been kind this weekend I have been working in the green house and veg patch. After moving the staging around I have planted up cucumbers and tomatoes into pots. I always use ring culture methods for watering. The tomatoes were grown by my sister M. I know I have two plum, two tiger and two ermmmm well other ....but not sure which is which right now. There is also a cherry on the staging too.

Out in the veg plot I have put out arious greens to mix with the onions and potatoes which are already outside and well established.

Yesterday joined hundreds of others at Butser Ancient Farm for Beltain Festival and burning of the wicker man. A wonderful evening, which we felt past far to fast. The weather was purfect and the wicker man burnt at 9pm once the sun started to go down. Here are some friends from the day. DH and I were joined by our friend S. They had a main stage this year which had preformances from folk band, dancers and mummers. Around the site the round houses had fires in, there were flit napping demonstrators and other crafts. More food stalls this year and the ever popular beer tent.
