What A Lovely Suprise

 I was clearing out one of our gardens, it is so overgrown but in a way, it is very enchanting

Look what we found when we cleared away about a million weeds and trees.

Billy the bull, he popped his head over the wall and has now become a regular visitor, you can even pet him, he has four other friends all very friendly.

I love anything to do with gardening, hopefully some day I will be growing vegetables, I always have a few herbs growing in pots in my kitchen, my favourite is basil.

It is so easy to grow and the smell from it is gorgeous. I have a favourite salad I make from this herb, use a large plate, cover the bottom of the plate with slices of a beef tomato then a lay of red onion, on top of that a layer of feta cheese and to finish off a layer of fresh basil leaves, dress with any olive oil or vinaigerette and I promise you it is delicious. 

 

 I came across this old bedroom dresser with bevelled mirror on castors on DoneDeal, for only €50, with a bit of work it could be very beautiful, maybe paint it a rich cream, its not too big a piece of furniture and could look very elegant in a bedroom.

 Well back to the gardening, in between the rain showers, Irish summers huh.
