I Took Tomatoes to Church and Came Home with Lilies

Church Plant Sale

I went to a plant sale today, it was being held in a tiny village just a couple of miles from us. This is an annual event which helps to generate much needed income for the Fabric Fund of St Andrew's Church.

Tomato plants

We always go along and purchase plants, books and cakes but this year we decided to donate a few plants... some very healthy tomato plants - grown from seeds which a very dear friend sent to me.





This quiet little village holds some wonderful secrets, which I have posted about here. It also has some really nice old houses.



Some are hidden behind high hedges, some are right on the street.



It is a green and leafy village, a quiet village, set in deepest Lincolnshire. It hosts some very surprising guests. Stars, old and new, from the world of music.

Borrowed image - mine are just about to flower!

I found some pots of lily-of-the valley on offer at the plant sale - of course I bought them! They will also go into the Owl Wood, where I hope they will spread and multiply. I guess that wonderful little lily-of-the-valley fairy was in attendance again!
