Picking beetroot

After we had been to the Westmorland Show we had arranged to go out for a meal with farming friends.
We spent an hour at their house & we were given some beetroot, only problem is a I left it behind!
It was a very strange day that as the Queen lay dying.

Three good things:
1. Harry has been for two loads of firewood.
We spent a couple of hours packing the first load into our new wood store. Another one to unload in the morning,
2. I spoke to one of my childhood friends on the phone for well over an hour this morning!
3. Chat on messenger with @judithg
Oh ! how could you ! ha , - hope you can pick it up again , if they do not live too far away . and you like beetroot ! Nice to be able to prepare for winter and so good to have a shed to put the logs in !

Oh what a shame, love beetroot, grated raw, pickled, roasted, yum. Satisfying to see a good pile of wood ready for winter..

@beryl @julzmaioro They are away in Ireland this week but are going to pick us some more when they come back & I bet they bring it down for us too….they like a trip out! Guessing about thirty miles.

Beetroot is such a lovely vegetable. I bought some seed the other day ready to plant soon. I used to bottle lots of it but haven’t of late.

I love beetroot. Hope you manage to pick up more soon. When we are busy chatting, we always forget things we should be taking home with us don't we.

Lovely rural scene. Nice little patch to pass some time planting seedlings and watching them grow.

Easy done. You will enjoy all the more when they pop you some over.

You may have recognised that this picture of fields surrounded by stone hedges is so picturesque to us over here on the other side of the world!
