the eve of the longest day

An ungainly phrase, that title. True for New Zealand though. Tomorrow we are driving inladn for 45 minutes to a wonderful reserve/swimming hole/picnic spot to share the afternoon and evening with three other families. We are all looking forward to it. And these gems from my garden will form the most prized ingredients for our contribution to the meal:
three kinds of lettuce
Orach
Argentata Beet
Chioggia Beetroot
Zucchinis
One yellow cherry tomato
garlic
Agria potatoes
chives/mint/basil

And maybe even some nasturtium. It is growing wild in my rampant garden patch down by the neighbour's shed. Tastier than the Wandering Jew and Convulvulus it shares the patch with.

Beaut!

And for us it will be me taking Kitty to a birthday party.

I was prewarned- "there will be a few sandwiches, cake, a couple of party games and then everyone will go home. If you INSIST on buying a present you are not to spend any more than you would on a comic. Recycled or charity shop presents preferred."

Oh, how fabulously refreshing... I can't wait.

Hope you have fun.
