Today has been one of the first proper sunny days in Brittany, France and it's been great getting out to do some stuff in the garden and have spent this evening admiring people's garden blogs and then found yours - I spent quite a number of years in Bristol - the last few before we left for here was in Kingswood! I was over a couple of weeks ago visiting friends in Thornbury and seeing their allotment sight was enough to get me going when I returned - looks as though you're not going to be short on veg this year!
Will be back... Miranda
