This was on my doorstep earlier on. The tomato is ENORMOUS. My neighbour is away for the weekend, could I water round for him please? I explained my sore back, and we agreed I would just use the hose.
I decided I would have a morning out and go to Doughty's in Hereford for fabric for binding. Also some to try and finish this quilt off. No way could I match any of these of course. I took photos . . .
There was nothing remotely like any of it. The colours weren't true in the photo either so the "may do" fabrics I use may be an outer border. That blue print on white - NOTHING like it in the shop. Or the pale lemon, grey, white . . . or the stripe come to that!!
The bright pink print is backing width, so will do well for Danny's quilt with lots left over. The next one in is the right pink for the quilt with no centre which I repaired, but was £24 and now I have it home I am thinking, that's a lot for binding and it's lovely fabric, so may think again on that. The other three prints are pale lemon with snowflakes, a bright blue print which whilst absolutely nothing like the print used is at least a similar blue as a background, and the washy one is pale lemon butterflies which isn't a bad match for the pale lemon on the quilt. Now looking on line for better matches as their selections today a bit disappointing . . .
Hawthorn berries on my walk today. I shall be up and along the old railway line all week as I have to walk on the level. It's a mile each way.
A little hint that the farmer does NOT want you to drive through his gate thank you very much. You can tell there's a quarry just up the road!
Looking across to Aberedw mynydd. The farmer has been very proactive and cut his hedges already.
I went to Breinton Farm Shop for apples. Lord Lamborne, Laxton Fortune and Red Windsor. Good heritage apples with SO much flavour. MUCH cheaper than supermarket apples imported half way round the world.
Off to do my exercises again on my yoga mat.
Rosehips here and a Robin's Pincushion at the top.
