Winchester walk

On my recent quick visit to my parents in Hampshire, UK,  we did a walk from St Cross to Winchester along the River Itchen with Mum (89) and Dad  (93) followed by a walk up St Catharine’s Hill on my own to do the mizmaze ;)

Chance meeting with the founder of Good Neighbor Gardens in San Diego!

A chance meeting on the train from Oslo to Trondheim yesterday with Mia Vaughnes who is project coordinator and founder of Good Neighbor Gardens in San Diego ! Despite our very different climates we had plenty to talk about during the last two hours of the journey from Røros and Trondheim and she recognised several of the plants in my book including dandelion, a favourite of Afro-Americans she told me..she joked that the building of railways in the US was fuelled by the dandelion :)
Mia’s Norwegian friend had visited my garden and recognised me :)
