the tale of the strawberries
Once upon a time a princess planted 3 tiny strawberry plants in her garden.
carefully planted in the newly created bed
They began to grow. Then, despite being guarded by a beady eyed and brave fox, they were eaten down to the quick by saucy young rabbits who were very numerous throughout that kingdom. Over the summer one of the plants recovered and produced 2 strawberries 
Many years later (well, 3), many self planted runners later, this is how they looked:
a wild and mysterious forest had grown up around the fox
Rosemary and lovage were shunted to the side, still doing well at the edge of the forest (one of those stray potatoes growing among them too). And what a royal harvest there was! Big bountiful bowls for all the family several times a week 
with soya cream
with a cherry on top
a strawberry from this magical garden was even purple-ised and put on a t-shirt…

the frog prince
Frogbert called from beside the pond, “I’ve found the golden ball that you dropped in here some time ago!”, but nobody heard as they were all too busy with their strawberry obsession 
There is even a strawberry Lucy now

frogs and barre
It’s all very magical down there in the pond – just been out listening to them tonight by the light of the moon Below should be a short video of them – turn up your volume to hear their frenzied ribbuting! Apologies for the poor picture quality – they are more shy than they appear and I had to do it on zoom from a distance.
Thanks to wonderful Davie we now have our own fabulous barre – 4 and a half metres of split-slidingly strong pine
even gets warm in the sun for us...
