This will obviously mean less responsibility too and thus less hassle. It's worked out okay in the end.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-27328448787953682932013-09-10T22:24:49.501+01:002013-09-10T22:24:49.501+01:00For all you non 'Going Gently' readers out...For all you non 'Going Gently' readers out there, before you feel the need rush to my defence and to the defence of my naturally and simply named Veggie Patch, read this post -<br /><br />http://disasterfilm.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/my-bosoms-are-ready.html <br /><br />- it's John's Blog post from earlier this year when he reminded us of why his allotment is called 'Bosoms'.<br /><br />Of course we all know it's called 'Bosoms' because he likes to have startling and risqué post titles that boost his viewing numbers and add to his ever growing Follower collection :-)<br /><br />Bosoms in the Wet<br />Bosoms Revamped<br />Olympic Bosoms<br />and to cap it all - 'Get your sharp little teeth off my Bosoms' and 'Licking Bosoms into Shape' <br /><br />.... the lengths some people will stoop to!!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-13994554704776104772013-09-10T20:27:33.617+01:002013-09-10T20:27:33.617+01:00Now I can honesty

If we stay in Hampshire area next year I will be able to help out in Mum's garden, especially as she is far less able to do so much now. My well-travelled herbs are still doing well though, and I have a huge pot of the rosemary that I dried from the cut-back bush at the campsite earlier in the year. <br />I bet you are getting really excited about the move - although I though that LH was staying in your present house for the next couple of years?

I once found lots of little tomatoes that had literally been abandoned all through the summer, they were trailing along the ground under a covering of weeds (yes I felt guilty), they were small and underdeveloped but tasted divine.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-61861409867937805542013-09-10T17:11:16.326+01:002013-09-10T17:11:16.326+01:00Haha... it's so easily done :-)
Our favourite...Haha... it's so easily done :-)<br /><br />Our favourite way with Kale is with pasta. Simply cook your pasta, while it cooks fry half a chopped onion and a finely chopped clove of garlic or two. When your pasta is ready throw the chopped kale into the pan and then drain almost immediately, reserving a cupful of the cooking water. Add some cream or yogurt to your onion pan, stir around and then pour in the pasta and Kale. If it looks dry add some of the reserved pasta water to let it down slightly. Serve with a sprinkle of parmesan or any hard grated cheese and a slice of homemade garlic bread ..... now I'm hungry it's a good job it's tea time :-) Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-21429625213392456872013-09-10T15:26:44.134+01:002013-09-10T15:26:44.134+01:00I know you said you are moving soon but coming bac...I know you said you are moving soon but coming backs and forwards whilst doing so and get the new place up and running.
