A Year at Bealtaine Cottage…

Not in any particular order…pictures of the year that was…

With the oven hot enough to bake a cake…my beloved Stanley Stove in the kitchen…

Early morning mist sweeps up the valley…

One of the Plum Trees laden with fruit…

The moon rising over the gardens…

Salix Contorta, or Twisted Willow, with Hag-Stones hanging from one of its branches.

Nasturtiums by the veranda.

Back of Bealtaine, near the main production gardens.

The lower pond in the Bog Garden.

My darling Missy…gone from this mortal coil, but her energy is felt…

Firing up the Rocket Stove with a bit of an old fence post…wicked heat!

Early Spring in the gardens near the tunnel.

Washing in the wind!

Home made compost.

Apple blossom…a great apple harvest every year without fail!

The tunnel in May…seedlings in pots and trays everywhere!

Productive gardens, around the tunnel and herb beds, in May

The Hen house…I will definitely get some more hens in 2014!

I miss the girls…hens are very relaxing to watch.

Bluebells under the kitchen window…I shall post some more tomorrow

Happy New Year to you all XXX and Blessings from Bealtaine.
