The story of 2 beans, 3 cameras, several animals and a pilaff!

Lovely super dooper blog Sticki, so glad you enjoyed it. thanks for coming down, was great to see you and kasy, so sorry lulu couldn't make it, but fab day : )

Great photos........Love the one of Shula and Stevie.
And the dinner table and box of condiments, did I see chutney! Also love Kasy's spot, at the end of her garden, sitting on a shelf/bench thingy?

When I finally DO make it to yours Stevie I will bring a bean or three.and maybe, if you're very lucky an orange bowl!

Lovely blog Sticki looks like you all had a fab time:)

Hello Nana!

I like that one too lulu : ) and yes there was some chutney, a tin of baked beans n those mini sausages was on standby in case you could make it ; )
I think the shelf/bench thingy was prototype No3, strong isn't it ; )
Looking forward to you coming : )
hello Nana as well : )

Looks like fun, sticki... great weather too.
I have to say this now, thought it so many times, Stevie, you are uncannily like one of my brother-in-laws to look at, I do a double take whenever I see a pic of you...

thanks stevie, i thoroughly enjoyed myself, great day

thanks lulu, believe or not my sister made the chutney!!

thank you nana, it was a really lovely time....and hello from me too.

it was great fun thank bamboo ~ we laughed a lot, we talked a lot we took [too many] photos, and we ate a lot!!! lovely day.

did you know you had a double stevie?

Who?
Strong.you are naughty STT!

Stevie's not got a Geordie accent, has he, Sticki...

no definitely not, stevie goes geordie ~ that would be fun

perhaps he can do a geordie accent!!??

LOL, not!
Was going to add a silly footnote...........but thought better of it!

Not related then - my brother inlaw is a Geordie. But they're soooo similar...

has your brother in law got the same sense of humour?

Hmm, probably not - he's got a sense of humour for sure, but not quite the same as Stevie's. That's when I can understand what he says anyway, lol (I mean my BIL, not Stevie)

Looks like a good day was had Sticki :)

It was really lovely day Sticki and I am so glad you could come. So sad Lulu couldn't make it but we were talking about her often.
Lovely pictures - glad you liked my tiny garden.
It was the first time I was really testing my potting/photography bench - it is really strong and solid, lol. Couldn't do my propagating and repotting without it now;-)
Will do my blog asap - promise:)

I will make it next time! x
potting/photography bench is really cool!

Hello Stevie and Lulu not been on the site as much as usual day off tomorrow and doing a bit in the garden:)

The canal photos are really lovely and peaceful and that pilaff looks delicious. You obviously had a great day. Shula is adorable and I took a shine to Kia and Billy as well. Sorry to hear you've been poorly,Lulu and hope you're feeling better now.

i like the geordie accent bamboo, i dont think stevie has a local type accent?

great day thanks dawnsaunt

i loved your garden kasy, very healthy plants and beautifully arranged, looking forward to your blog!

i DO hope so lulu!!

hope you enjoy your time in the garden nana

thanks tuesday bear, the pilaff was really delicious, i shall have a go at making it myself very soon i think.

Aww Kia is so adorable! What a fab blog and get well soon wishes from me to Lulu too - summer colds are such a drag, esp when we've had so few nice days to enjoy :-(

Lovely blog and super photos. Glad you had a good day together. Seeing the goat, we used to have two, Ebony and Katie, when we had our smallholding. Grapevines and home made wine, brings back some memoirs of the last house where we had a white and a red vine. Now we just do elderflower wine. Beautiful dog, love huskies. Hope Lulu recovers soon. Take care.

she is a beautiful dog julie, so friendly too! thank you julie, it was lovely to see the sun that day!

thanks linda, its like charging the batteries, so relaxing, and really good fun.

WOWOW!!!! What a beautiful place :-))) I love the floating (banca ) and the garden of Kasy very lovely , and the dogs and billy the kid ,wow its very nature, and the passion flower of Stevie, sooo pretty:-)))) always wonderful blogs Sticki:-)))

its a really lovely place, thanks junna, its so quiet and peaceful too.

What beautiful scenery Sticki ...wouldn't mind the food too. Who do all the animals belong to apart from the beautiful Kia?:-)

thank you BA, its a lovely place isnt it? and you are right ~ all the food was really lovely [such a treat too when you dont have to cook it yourself]

stevie might have to answer about all the animals???

Whenever I see a pretty canal boat like the one in your pic, I think I would love to live on one .... then reason sets in :-)

They look very cosy to me! But possibly a little damp?

Cold too in the winter:-(

well true but i was thinking of a nice log burner?

Seems to be lots of wood on canal boats:-(

not safe then you think???

never mind, just another one of my dreams......

Yes Sticki, must be realistic ...maybe a horse drawn caravan then:-)

no, horses scare me.

im off to those scottish islands, in a croft with a view of the sea, the mountains and the machair!!!! perfect.

I like horses and I can't swim, so you can have the boat and I'll have the caravan. Have a lovely holiday Sticki:-)

Oh I haven't got another holiday, that was just a dream! I hope you get your caravan!

I hope you get your dream:-)
