Dad grew some that he harvested on Christmas Eve.
Under supervision.......
........because, as can you see, my right-handed Mother was unable to help. Two and a half weeks ago she cracked both the bones in her right forearm just above her wrist while gardening ( the plant she was pulling on suddenly gave way and so did Mum). She will be in plaster until about the 20th of January - very frustrating for Mum as she is an avid patchwork quilter and can't use her sewing machine.
It is just as well that I am here for another week to help the Folks out!

Poor Mum! I love 'baby' new potatoes, with loads of butter!
Oh your poor mother. Please wish her well from me. My dear mother-in-law is not long out of plaster for a broken right wrist and left kneecap and I know just how frustrating it can be.
PS The potatoes look wonderful!
Poor Mum! Give her a big hug from me. I'm sure they're delighted to have your company regardless of whether they need a little assistance or not.
And Dad's potato crop looks nice. The raised beds are brilliant!
Hello Mickle
Good to see you writing again - thanks for your comment (will answer in an email soon)
Oh, I bet your Mum is ropeable about the arm but so glad you are there to help out along with your Dad. Enjoy the rest of your trip and big hugs for Zebby when you get home
Take care

That's terrible. Poor Mum. Hope it heals well and soon!
Sorry about your mom's arm. I am sure she can't wait to get that cast off! I love that you got to eat potatoes from your dad's garden!
Happy New Year to you!
Sorry about the broken bones and I hope they heal soon.
Just as well you have been there to look after them both,
May 2012 be good to all of you.

Yipee we have the internet back at last. Those potatoes look good. We are the wrong side of the equator to have new potatoes for Christmas day, but we did have our own home grown ones. Keep well, hugs Diane
