Time Flies

Wow here it is Sept and I haven't even updated for two months. Ok Here we go:
July: We didn't travel anywhere because we were working on our residency stuff, basically so we can stay here and work for as long as we want without a visa. Not citizenship that is something different. This required sending our passports in and taking a test. We both passed and they still have our passports. Hope we get them so we can go somewhere next month. Itching to travel. As we stayed close to home we visited Chesil Beach and spent some quality time with friends. Kendal also smashed her fingers in the front door. OUCH!

August: Was a fun month. We took to harvesting more of our veggies. Sweetcorn, onions, some potatoes, tomatoes, beets (beetroot- UK translation), carrots and cucumbers and zuccini(courgettes - UK translation). We have taken to learning how to can and have made some seasonal chutney, and Claussen style pickles. Which are fabulous. Kendal eats them 3 or 4 at a time. I am also learning how to be creative with these veggies as there are lots and we don't want them to go to waste.

The weather was warmer at the beginning of August and Kendal, Daddy and I spent more time out in the garden and sunshine. This led to going down to some good friends Caravan (Trailer- US translation) by the beach in Weymouth and hung out for the day.


Kendal helping me pass the time while daddy took his residency test. She is funny with chewing gum.

One of the many huge pumpkins out in the garden. Might need a crane to lift one of them.
