Cooling down

26/09/2012 by mike

Its been a strange time since my last post, the weather has decided to mess us about, last Thursday we had our first frost, temperature -0c and the first snow on the mountains.  Not good for the garden though, we rushed out and covered up what we could but it still managed to touch the tops of the tomatoes and some other stuff, still that’s nature and we have to go with the flow, its ironic the weather, poor old UK is getting so much rain and we are desperate to have some and none seems to be forthcoming.    Maria has started to do some alterations to the flower beds and we are still in the process of clearing the hillside so it keeps us busy.

We have some friends coming over from England tomorrow for a long weekend which we are both looking forward too, for me it is a chance to speak in English for a few days and I expect we will get out and about, it will be good.  Found a load of really nice mushrooms yesterday so we will probably take our friends and go to Oravska Lesna on Friday which is where we look for mushrooms if the time is right and it has the most magical woodland for photographing.

Finally, I have been scanning more family pictures and thought it would be nice to put some on the blog, so here is the first one which I believe is the earliest photo of our mum circa 1924.
