sitting in garden with laughing children running about – ahhhhhhh.
thats mostly what we did. SB did some computer games and the whole of the new webland as well. She helped me plant out the runner beans – as did BB. Hands off to those of you who regularly garden with two such avid helpers! mostly she climbed, swinged and jumped. we played a lot of hide and seek together – BB usually gives my hiding place away though! Chris found the very old pop up tent and tunnel – so a lot of fun with that. Oh, and we read half of the usbourne greek myths book.

SB and I had a practice run at our Kessingland craft – see below and leave feedback.
IMG 5180Our paneer has worked well, and plan to eat it tomorrow – we were too tired to cook anything inventive this evening.

We have a ‘pond monster’ It was flailing in the shallow muddy bit, and I went to investigate – i could only see the tail end, which seemed long for a fish, and wrong shaped – @ small eelish? broen coloured. disappeared fairly sharpish, but don’t think long enough for eel – I wonder what it is? Maybe its the culprit for the declining goldfish numbers?
Depending on their species, eels can reach from 10 cm to 3 m, and weigh up to 65 kg (Wikipedia)
Or maybe a newt?
Not been having visits from a heron, by any chance? They are frequently the culprits for disappearing fish.
we had assumed heron – as not seen, but thats not unusual. not a newt – has fish scales!
The previous owners did sya they ahd heron problems, and had a removeable fence thing, but in a year I’ve not once seen a glimpse of a Heron so suspect not.
to big I think, and the tail not quite right for a newt. Thing is, I’ve only ever seen this thing twice, and have only seen the tail end, not the head. But an Eel, seems the likest thing at the moment
We’ve had lots of garden time here too, I love seeing the kids so happy and outdoors
Have you ever tried to make an the Indian sweet rasgulla out of the paneer? It is quite nice if you like squeeky sweets
