@bodleianlibs The Storied Life of AK Fikry - short ish, and worth every page. I lent my copy to my Nan and she loved it too

[Fran @frangrowsfood]

@wallcurator Mine won’t let me log in ‘for security reasons’. I’ve yet to tackle that with IT! 😅

[Fran @frangrowsfood]

@Nunsleuth @DrJaninaRamirez @HistoriaHWA Agreed – Janina is highlighting really fascinating women I’d not heard of before, as well as giving me a new perspective on life as a medieval woman. I’m looking forward to part 3!
(And Femina is now firmly on my birthday wishlist🤞🏻)

@SueGreaney Congratulations 🎉
I am so pleased for you but will definitely miss your expertise and advice at EH!

@sjfbilton With a runny egg to dunk it in 😍

We’ve just broken the GUINNESS WORLD RECORD™ for the Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Vampires with 1369 vampires! 🎉🏅

We’d like to say a BIG thank you to everyone who has come along to Whitby Abbey to help make this happen - you all looked fang-tastic! 🧛🧛‍♀️

@GreenBeanJackie It’s so wonderful to see isnt it! Especially knowing the tasty peas that follow 😁

[Fran @frangrowsfood]

Purple podded peas: almost as beautiful as sweet peas when in flower, but with the added edible bonus! #allotment #growyourown

[Fran @frangrowsfood]

If the copious amount of blossom and the numerous tiny apples are anything to go by, our eating apple tree is going to truly outdo itself this year… #GardeningTwitter

[Fran @frangrowsfood]

@GardeningSaul @HeadGardenerLC @BBCGWLive @EHAudleyEnd @gemma_sturges @EnglishHeritage It was indeed! I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day at Audley - hope the weather is just as fabulous in September!

[Saul Walker @GardeningSaul]

Earlier in #Spring @HeadGardenerLC
and I on behalf of @BBCGWLive visited @EHAudleyEnd
to see the wonderful #Kitchen #Garden and meet with HG Louise Ellis and her team including @gemma_sturges - and @EnglishHeritage filmed us while we were there.
Enjoy!

Last year’s alliums (autumn sown spring onions) and this year’s - a healthy looking garlic crop! I saved bulbs from our harvest of garlic last year to plant, the first time I’ve done so. So far so good 🤞🏻#GardensHour

[Fran @frangrowsfood]

More tulip photos - just cause I love them so much! 💐 #GardensHour

[Fran @frangrowsfood]

@Daphne_Meadows_ Gorgeous- I love apple blossom #GardensHour

[Fran @frangrowsfood]

@parisnstumpy @GardensHour Amazing! We had asparagus pizza tonight - sadly not homegrown but I would recommend it!

[Fran @frangrowsfood]

@GardensHour I’ve not about for #GardensHour for ages as I’ve been deep in coursework, but it’s good to be back! Lots of recent progress at the allotment and in the garden to report, including new beds, tomato babies, gorgeous tulips and lots of purple broccoli! 😁

[Fran @frangrowsfood]

Absolutely loving these tulips that look like roses - new to my garden this year 💐
