It's summer time!



The under-gardeners seem rather envious of the studio assistants today - and who can blame them! This is supposed to be summer - and this weekend is the Summer Bank Holiday, traditionally a weekend for a trip to the seaside or a picnic in the country, but it's cold and very, very wet!

This morning I was emailed by Charlotte of The Great Big Vegetable Challenge who has invented a creative way to beat the wet and miserable summer time blues: Make a Vegetable Face.

Before I chopped up the veg for tonight's dinner I created this rogue. For more vegetable face fun visit The Great Big Vegetable Challenge or why not join in and create your own vegie phisog.

  1. I love that photo of the cats - typical..lazing around and living the perfect life whilst everybody else toils around them!!!! Excellent!

  2. Your veggie face creation is most fetching! I love the array of veggies you used.

    The poor under-gardeners look rather bedraggled while the studio assistants lounge peacefully without a care in the world. The under-gardeners probably wish they could help in the studio from time to time!

  3. I LOVE your photo, it is wonderful. First I was thrilled with the chickens, and then scrolled down and saw the cats! Thanks, purple podded peas.

  5. Kate - hi, hope you've had fun viewing the other faces on The Great Big Vegetable Challenge blog.

    Lucy, Meg & Picklesmum,
    The studio assistants aren't normally allowed in the living room unsupervised (posh sofas!!) but they sneaked in and looked so cute cuddled up together that I let them stay all day.

    It's definitely not the under-gardeners' favourite weather (or mine for that matter), but they are not being invited into the studio, Kate.

    The cats respect the hens (they're all girlies Picklesmum - roosters are boys!) it's because as kittens they were put in their place by a large Buff Orpington hen called Fergie - two pecked noses!
