I love google homepages. They are always really creative, original and a great way to learn about special days in the year.
This one however has to be my all time favourite. Its PAC-MAN’s 30th Birthday and to celebrate they have designed a google game for everyone to enjoy. Its great and even has an insert coin button for two players. Enjoy Everyone!
Its Purple Sprouting Broccoli season on the allotment, and we have loads of it!
This has to be one of those crops that are really worth growing. It takes a little patience as the seeds need to be sowed a whole year before harvesting. Once in the soil however, the seedlings can be pretty much left to their own devices and yet still always produce an abundance of broccoli at the following spring.
I visited the Brooklyn Flea Market during my final weekend in New York. Having never been to a flea market before I wasnt quite sure what to expect. I mean I obviously knew there would be stools selling antiques and nick-nacks, but when I walked through the iron gates to the market I was very excited. There were hundreds of books to flick through, boxes and boxes of goodies to delve through and old style maps everywhere. Every stool told a story I could have been there all day rumaging though each stool.
This was our first experience crossing the road in Vietnam. I look slightly ridiculous and clearly a little nervous, but once you have learnt the trick of slow walking and ignoring all the bikes. Every road is a piece of cake! You certainly would be on the pavement a long time if you ever waited for a gap!

I cant believe how much more growth there is after just one week. This week we were able to pick a couple of courgettes and harvest our first new potatoes.
Our Pickings
I recently visited New York for a weekend break. I dont have an SLR camera (although id love one) but I do have a reasonably decent compact, Canon Powershot A700. What I like about this camera is its easy to carry around but it still has quite a few manual features to experiment with. I am quite pleased how these two pics turned out. See more on my flickr account.
