The Queen Anne's Lace (Daucus carota) flowers are opening up. I really like the delicate basket-work tracery of the green bracts underneath the flower heads.

Setting up home in a new country is going to be challenging. A bit like trying to cook a meal in someone else's kitchen. Maybe. This is a record of my experiences as I pack up my old life in England and start a new one in Ontario, Canada, with the aim of becoming more self-sufficient.

That is a gorgeous shot of the Queen Anne's Lace, a flower I dearly love.
Wish I could help you with that peculiar noise-maker. Can't wait to find out if someone else knows...
Had to come back to reassure you that we just have the two tiny ripe tomatoes. YOURS will come on fast and furious. And since you have a greenhouse, you'll be enjoying yours long after mine are just sauce and chutney and...
I know, I've just got to be patient! I haven't bought any fresh tomatoes for weeks, so my anticipation is reaching fever-pitch. I'm sure I'll be sick of having to process them in a month or two (I have rather a lot of plants...)!
That's a perfect angle to shoot a picture of Queen Anne's lace. It makes the more lovely.
I think it is a bird.....am I right?
Mo - I've no idea! But I think you might be right, as it stopped when I got closer and so might have flown off. It was a very weird noise.
