Journal entry - June 6We arrived at the house in Daylesford in time to have a cup of tea before heading off to Hepburn Spa, for a spa and massage. I chose a ginger, lime and geranium blend, hoping it would help my sore throat. I lay in the bath listening to the soothing sound of rain on the tin roof.
Ann had made a tart from the 5 Crown apples growing on the tree outside the bedroom window, and Yves had made an entree from the mushrooms growing in the front garden. I made a mental note to start work on a vegetable garden during the coming weeks, so that it would be ready for a spring planting. The table was decorated with candelabra wound round with some ornamental grape vine, with just a few crimson-coloured leaves tightly holding on.
I just loved those fragile little nerines growing on the side of the garden path. I must get some for the shop when I return.
How wonderful to be able to enjoy the fruits of nature so simply, and in so many ways.
