Down on the farm!

Well that's it, we officially have green fingers! I think I mentioned that we got a little crazy growing seeds and then had to dig up half my garden to plant them all, but its been unbelievably worthwhile cos EVERYTHING is growing! So cool! We've started getting courgettes, sugar snap and snow peas, and beans growing in the last couple of days and the tomatos aren't far off. These are, of course, in addition to the ridiculous amount of spinach and lettuce we're having to eat to stop the whole garden being taken over, plus the coriander we had in our thai curry, the oregano, thyme, rosemary and mint! We already had a couple of baby carrots too. I doubt the sweetcorn is gonna give us any, but it looks sooooo cool! What with the peach tree and walnut tree we're gonna eat well this summer! There's a couple of photos below of me pyjama gardening (my favourite weekend past-time!) and some of our vegies. Sorry to make all y'all northern hemispherites jealous with the sunny, warm looking weather - if it's any consolation it is ridiculously windy here as usual.

my lovely laydees!

I went to Lyttelton and Corsair bay with two of my most favourite and beautious french speaking buddies, Emelie and Jenna, and thought I'd put a couple of delightful piccies up.

Not had much interesting stuff to say recently, but will hopefully start having more photos and stories as summer gets in full swing, especially since my crazy bro will be over here to entertain me for the summer!
