Peas

Posted on by

Fresh peas from the garden are one of our very favourite things (understatement). We look forward to pea season and have been known to pop into the local fruit store and ask, any peas yet? Until, many years ago, the fruit lady said she’d text us, and indeed she did for years but sadly they sold their fruit store last year, now we’re back fending for ourselves!

We plant as many as we can in our garden and fill bags of them when they appear (momentarily) at the supermarket.

With the bags of peas from the market, we sit in the sun and devour them, a bag at a time. Heaven.

With the peas we grow? They are much more precious, we’d be lucky to harvest a small handful each day. They are counted and equally split. How many did you pick? How many did I get? That’s not fair!!! He he, see how precious they are?

This years crop have been particularly juicy, sweet and delicious.

Truly scrumptious (my daughter saw this and started singing, and I joined in…you are truly scrumptious…scrumptious as the breeze across the bay…so delicious…you are the answer to our wishes..). The song could be about our peas! 🌼

Today’s harvest 🌱

Have a wonderful day!

  2. Love your pictures Arwen. Did you get a new camera? You are making me hungry for peas and strawberries as I look out the window at fresh snow.

    • It’s the camera on my phone, my old iPhone6, it takes a nice photo doesn’t it 😊.

      Snow, another one of our favourite things 😃❄️🌨☃️

      Hope you’re keeping warm 🌼

  3. Dear darling Arwen, I do remember meeting you (at that completely wild party) and I still have that simply glorious story you wrote for our second book (hopefully it will be published before your daughter goes to high school!) it is still steeping. Anyway i love that you have started your blog! And I love all your images of summer in New Zealand. I do miss the summers at home. Much love and well done! You are one of our stars. Love c

    • That was truly the most incredible party they have thrown for us, there have been some other good ones but, to me, that one still holds the crown.
      It will be a treat to read your book when it’s finished, good memories to look back on at any time.
      On a good day in Wellington there isn’t anywhere better in the world 🙂
      Though, I am totally fascinated by your weather, I love snow but working in snow…?! Before we know it we’ll be swapping around again and we’ll be going into winter…
      Thank you for your message and remembering me.
      Lots of love, Arwen
