Back home after a great time in Germany

Well the holiday is over boo! hoo! back to the real world. But I thought Id share a few pictures.

Just a few of the many photos

Racing for Life

Well I did it finished another Race for Life and in 37 minutes which I think for a 59 year old aint so bad. I have yet to decide if I will do it next year but I think the ....'go on do it'... will win out in the end.

Warm up time 

Apparently Watford's Race for Life will raise £125K 

Done it despite the rain.

 Thank you everyone who sponsored me and who came out on a horrid damp old day to give me a cheer. 

Mannheim or Bust

Just back from our long weekend in  chilly Mannheim Germany. Ken was doing his 5 km run as part of his company's relay event at the Mannheim Marathon. We had a great time and Ken managed his run with flying colours.

We visited Heidelberg and went to the castle and had a ride on the Funicular railway, all in all a great time was had by one and all. Watch out later when these pages get scrapbooked.

Getting the Greenhouse Ready

Well, I finally got the plants potted up for the greenhouse. I have four different types of tomatoes, Alicante, Moneymaker, some small yellow Sungolds and some small black cherry tomatoes. I also planted a gherkin which my husband was keen to see grown, and sowed my cucumber chili and pepper seeds. I am hoping that I get the harvest I did last year, as I was able to keep my whole extended family and friends in cucumbers and tomatoes throughout the summer.

The chili,peppers and cucumber seeds sown.

The tomato plants all potted up

 Whilst I was gardening I also potted up some herbs for myself and my daughter, and a pot of flowers for her balcony at her new flat. Lets hope all grow well. 

Coriander and basil seeds sprouting well

A tub of herbs, rosemary,thyme chives and parsley
plus a Fuchsia with Lobellia and a re-potted Azalea

Finished at last now on to the next job

Finally got my scrapbooking done for 2015 amazingly and a few ones into 2016. I now have to get on with all many other projects to numerous to mention.
