55°f/13°C , cloudy and rain showers all afternoon.
Greener and greener
With rain in the forecast for the afternoon, I decided to spend the morning in the garden. And now I finally feel almost caught up. I planted garlic, peppers, tomatoes, marigolds, dill...I don't know what all, but all that's left to put in is limas, rattlesnake beans, cucumbers and squash.
Then the rain arrived, right iron schedule. So it was indoors and cooking time. Venison potroast
What a nice day! I'm ending it by watching the seventh season of Grantchester, a series I started watching at least 5 years ago. My English granny and my aunt and uncle lived in Grantchester, so some scenes are very familiar, especially this pub: The Green Man, where we went several times with my cousin Les, and once or twice with John too. I was so surprised to see it on the show that I had to pause the movie and take a photo! So I had to go back and find my own photo of The Green Man, posted after our visit in 2013.
How I would love to be there now! But I believe the pub actually closed in 2020.
It is neat to be able to pick out places that you know while watching movies. I get ridiculously excited when that happens.
ReplyDeleteYou got a lot done in one day. I remember watching ( and enjoying) Grantchester but then I think there was maybe a newer version on TV and I didn't enjoy it as much and finally quit watching.
ReplyDelete...count me in for pot roast!
ReplyDeleteAnother busy day for you. I have watched Grantchester and it is a lovely town. How nice that you have a connection.
ReplyDeleteYummy looking food, and I am sure it was eaten with pleasure (and the jam will bring smiles in the future!) I spent more for food yesterday which had already been prepared, which helps me with my shaky fingers not wanting to try to cook much on my own. So I ate well last night and have about 8 more meals ready to heat in microwave.
ReplyDeleteI love Grantchester and am excited for the new season. I like the new vicar. Isn't it fun to see a place you know on the screen?!
ReplyDeleteHow cool about Grantchester. I loved that series. You had a really full day of gardening, cooking etc. Whew...put your feet and relax a bit, you've earned it.
ReplyDeleteWe watched a couple of episodes of that but it was too many characters for Dan (he never was one for fiction stories) and the accents meant subtitles were necessary. Just read about the weather system you're experiencing.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a good English pub.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a great connection. I don’t get PBS, so I have lost track of the series, but I have seen a lot of it in the past.
