Grandpa's peas

The first peas that this little chicken pox boy has tasted straight off the plants.
Took him a bit to get the hang of eating them raw but loved the taste.

We have been taking slates off our daughter & son in laws outhouse today prior to the builders coming to knock it down for a new extension.

A very sore Chichen Pox body today, Finn has some massive blisters poor little thing, you can't even pick him up.

@brennieb Max had it much milder Brenda but Finn has some massive ones specially under his arms.

Chicken pox is certainly a pain - both literally and figuratively!
But, raw peas will be a treat he will now look forward to every year! I find it so hard to grow enough to freeze now - they get eaten before they make it to the kitchen!
A great shot of a happy boy.

[Hazel]

Fresh peas - lovely and a good distraction, I guess. Hope Finn is much better soon.

[Dianne]

What a shame the boys have both had chicken pox while on holiday. A cute image.

@farmreporter I think this will happen here too although they are a bit small still, next week will be better for picking!

[Pat Knowles]

@dide Yes really bad luck Dianna, we have to stay away from crowds too which really restricts us where we go. Last week too but Max is with other granny for two nights.

[Pat Knowles]

@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel, bad luck they have both been ill but we have coped ok hope Finn is better tomorrow.

Nothing like some great peas to put a smile on his face.. hope the recovery is quick.. the building extension sounds exciting...

[Sue Cooper]

Poor little Finn. The peas are obviously helping though and have brought a smile to his face. Hope he gets better quickly.

[Bep]

Poor little Finn. Glad he is smiling... Cute image, Pat.

How can you resist that little smile and face ! Smiling through all those spots and blisters ! Fresh peas from the garden must be the magic potion -- the best way to eat them !!

[Lois]

Looks like he's handling the chicken pox like a champ! What a darling brave boy!

[Jane Pittenger]

Sweet sweet expression

[Chris K]

poor little boy and he can still smile. Have you been vaccinated against shingles Pat

[Maggiemae]

I can remember putting calamine lotion on these spots! Made them stand out even more but calmed them down! Good to see him up!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae yes calamine lotion going on these too maggie but the greatest invention is anti histamine medicine, takes all the terrible itch away!

[Pat Knowles]

@cruiser No I forgot to ask when I went to the doctors Chris. I had shingles in early May & it did cross my mind to ask about it next time. I was in the wrong age group & is it too late when I already had shingles?
