ODE TO THE SEASONS.


Here are a couple of photo's that may bring back a few memories for Haddock," Hele Bay Pub".

Now winters gone and summer is near,
The warmer days fill us all with good cheer,
We hope Jack Frost is all done for now,
Flowers their heads no more have to bow.

We've spent many days in Nursery shops,
Planing our gardens and vegetable plots,
In front of the fire on a long winters night,
Choosing seeds to make our gardens so bright.

Fruits like strawberries and juicy blackberries,
Beautiful Tomatoes as ripe as red cherries,
It could be that Gooseberries are your real delight,
But dear old Rhubarb still delivers a bite.

Now it could be that veggies are your bread and butter,
But if asked what their grown in can causes quite a stutter,
Runner beans straight as a yard of pump water,
Probably planted in ale or in Porter.

So were obviously spoilt to know what to order,
To know what to plant in Garden or border,
But of one thing for sure you all will agree,
Summer cant get here too fast to please me.
