They've now handed back to me so I'll continue with my Sunny Sunday tale.
After our spell of gate duty Henry, and I hurried into the cool of the 2 gardens which were open for us to explore. Here there was definite evidence that that these gardens enjoyed a lot of sunshine.
I was so surprised to see these lemons. It was the first time I had seen lemons growing in an English garden, although Eddie had told me about seeing them growing in Greece when he was on his last sailing holiday.
I was also impressed by the size of the bell peppers growing in the greenhouse ...
... real beauties they were, and I couldn't help but think of all the wonderful dishes chef Oakley could create, if I could grow him some peppers as fine as these.
The greenhouse was beside the owner's bee-hives which I found quite fascinating. I think bee-keeping could be a very relaxing hobby so I asked lots of questions about what is involved. I was rather alarmed to hear that the greenhouse in which I was standing had caught fire earlier in the year when the owner had been smoking the bees.
As I thought about all the potential dangers, I started to have second thoughts about taking up bee-keeping. More research is definitely needed.
Lots of love, Tommy & Henry xxx

Hi Boys -
Midlands Branch have been potting up some strawberry and mint plants for you, as they hope to see your minders at a party tomorrow. Hope you can find room for them.
