Summer Holidays

Hello there...
It's been quite some time since we chatted last, we know. We have been making the most of the warm days, taking trips to the cool salty water, riding our bikes, camping with friends, coffee and chats, dinner dates and having picnics and spending time at "The Patch". The summer break was just lovely for us. How did you spend your time?

THE PATCH:
We have quite a crop at the moment . Many of the Wooden Box peeps have been enjoying the produce at the Community BBQ's, that we have been having. This Sunday we are holing another at 5pm. You might like to join us. It's so nice to mingle with our neighbours and help out each other when needed.
Perhaps you might like to come too? We have a webber and plenty of soft green grass for little and big toes to squish. Bring something to share or just come along. It would be nice to meet you.

Spike and Scout have been growing too! It's all the sun and water play we think!!
Scout is a very confident walker/ runner and Spike is saying a whole range of words.
If you have children or nieces or nephews or grandchildren, you will know how fast time travels in the first few years of life!

How have you been enjoying your boxes?
What have you been cooking?

Scouts House made a lovely Borscht with the beets we have been getting. Another nice way to eat the Beetroots is cooking them on the grill of the BBQ or roasting them with some balsamic and onions, toss it into some quinoa with some fresh herbs and your got a nice salad thats quite delish!!
Aya Tim and Uki, taught Spikes house how to make a delicious Miso Eggplant.

In the boxes this week:

Until next time happy cooking, playing, sun catching, coffee drinking, sleep catching and smiling.
