Dragged out of Retirement

We spent the weekend "pottering" in the garden, planting bulbs in all our big pots and putting the dahlias to bed for the winter. In spite of it being partially sunny, we also had showers and a chill breeze both days, so we didn't overdo it......... so there are still more bulbs from last year to plant !  It's been vile weaher today, with more of the same forecast for the rest of the week..... oh, well...... maybe I should catch up with some chores around the house !

  

  

..... and a very "spotty"  Iceberg rose......

And just for a bit of cheering up, here is the "Nigella" fruit tart I made last week, and a traditional Sherry Trifle made by our neighbour friend Peter for Dinner last weekend....................

  

Mmmmmm I feel better already !
