those blueberries on the little leaves are so effective - mind you the 'coffee table book' photography shows them off to their best advantage - MrsM you are wasted sorting out those geographers
I went to a local show (ok, not my local!) yesterday and was similarly enthralled. I even saw beauty in a brand new tractor. And a bull. Oh, and a pig and that's a first!
we were given a small marrow or large courgette last weekend by some friends who came to lunch. If we had been really on the ball I suppose we could have entered it - not sure as what though.
I am reminder of my mother's endeavours with a Victoria sandwich which one first prize. By this time it was a bit too late to fess up to someone else making it ... butter would not melt etc
Oh this is a wonderful post! These beautiful pictures bring to mind a local small chateau here in the Loire Valley which has a sixteenth-century kitchen garden bursting with authentic produce jostling with vegetables from far-flung countries. If I am not mistaken there is a photo here of Bright Lights Swiss Chard; a real show stopper.
Beauty is everywhere you are willing to look.
I am shyly telling you that I am having a giveaway and if the gifts interest you (they are of a garden nature) I would be delighted for you to have a chance to win.
Thank you! I love reading your comments and even though I don't always have time to reply I am really grateful to every one who joins in the conversation.
Such beauty captured by your eye for a great picture.
ReplyDeleteSo right, Alice - what a great lesson, beautifully illustrated.

ReplyDeleteShirley Conran was wrong about mushrooms. Life is too short *not* to stuff a mushroom and arrange blueberries on leaves.
ReplyDeleteOur village show is on Saturday and I can't WAIT to look on it all again..........
ReplyDeleteLoving Lucille's comment.
