Adventure comes in many shapes and forms and for me most of my adventures happen when I am on a road-trip or travel abroad.

So when faced with this weeks photo challenge I looked through my photos and saw these that I took last year at the  Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge.

A friend and I went on a road trip up to northern Ireland, we went up past Carrickfergus along the Coast road all the way up to Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and further on to the Giants Causeway.

It was  lovely trip with the sun shining down on us most of the time. It was an adventure to wander along roads of the past, stroll across the hanging bridge which swayed quite considerably in the wind (shortly after we made it back they closed it for the day due to high winds) and enjoy the wonders of nature at the Giants Causeway.

 

path-tomatoes: biggest harvest yet

With August quickly fading into distant memory and the summer sprinting towards it’s finish-line, my path-tomatoes are still going strong, or at the very least the last ones are ripening up.

Yesterday, I had my biggest harvest yet, as I was able to pick nine juicy tomatoes for my lunch. I have been picking the ripe ones since they started to redden up but never have I been able to gather so many at the same time.

And I was delighted to see that there are still some yummy cherry tomatoes ripening on the plant. I just hope that the sun will give us a few more sunny days for the last few path-tomatoes to turn red and delight my taste-buds.   I have to say, even if there haven’t been tons of tomatoes to harvest they have been extremely delicious, possibly the best I have every eaten – but then I am bias.

So, as this years experiment is slowly coming to it’s end I now know that path-tomatoes are a definite on my to-plant-list for 2015. After all as tomatoes are one of my all time favourite foods, why wouldn’t I grab the opportunity to grow my own supply?

It’s difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato.
