A Few Memories from the Garden

Dear Sébastien,
    I would like to share with you, some of my favourite garden pictures, from last year.  Lots of lovely things grew last year.  It was a very nice summer.  A bit wet to start with but came hot in the end.......................

Dear Sébastien,
I think you will remember, Daddy loves to grow  vegetables and make wonderful recipes from them.  You always liked to help in the garden and the kitchen.  I would like to share a few memories with you........

Some of the lovely things I grow



You love baking cakes with Daddy x

For the past 2 years I have been growing my own fruit and vegetables.  I have always liked cooking and making people happy with lovely food.  To actually grow, what you cook is an amazing feeling!  There is nothing better tasting than fresh produce.  I want you to remember some of these recipes and tips, so you can hopefully recreate them yourself one day!

I will be sharing lots of recipes with you son.  I will also show you lots of photographs of the garden.  Hopefully this will help you understand more where food comes from!
Will write again soon 
love Daddy xx


For my son Sébastien

I am creating this blog, as a memoire for my son Sébastien, to look back on when he is older.  I want him to learn about where he was born, what his daddy believes in and what I would like to share with him.  I would like him to see for himself, when he is older but for now I want to save all my thoughts to share with him later in life.

Dear Sébastien,
     Daddy loves you loads and wants to give you something to look back on when you are older.  A taste of where you were born and where daddy lives.  When you are older, you will be able to read this and see for yourself why I stay in France.  I will be writing you these letters, so you can see for yourself one day.

Grandma and Grandads House - this is where daddy lives


The Garden which daddy looks after and grows wonderful things







This is where Daddy lives son and it is the first house you lived in, when you were born.  You loved to help Daddy and Grandma with the garden.
I will write again soon
love Daddy xxxx
