Round Table Revisited

[just_me_karen]

And so Lord of the String said unto the peoples, "Go forth anew. Seek a land you can call your own."

The people saw it was good.

So, on the last day the people said their solemn goodbyes and began the long journey to the promised new land.

And so began the new land and its people were joyous!

Welcome, to the Return of the Round Table known as...

"Round Table Revisited" (RTR)

You live near someone who gives away watermelons??? I am moving to your house!!!

:^O What  great idea Karen - I love it when folks share like that!

Could you swap some for a watermelon perhaps in advance?

[just_me_karen]

Most people grow their own veggies here, so atm there is a glut of tomatoes. I'm going to get a watermelon tomorrow... Saw them today, they're huge!

One person grows weird shaped gourds but I'm not sure if they're for eating?

my fave is the bloke who grows strawberries... I'd forgotten how great fresh homegrown strawberries taste. Nomnom! I share them with my pet wild birds 🙂

I love those weird shaped gourds.

I am not sure either whether they are for eating but they sure look interesting as decoration.

[just_me_karen]

Maybe I could paint them and use them for this year's Christmas decorations lol

I just looked on google and saw you can make bird houses out of gourds..That is a cool idea 🙂

Or polish them or buff them up - some are really fantastic shapes.

We have fantastic gum nuts over here - they are huge - and people use them as Christmas decorations.  They paint and varnish them and hang them from the tree - actually quite lovely.

I didn't do that though - I just have them (unvarnished) in a hand woven basket on a coffee table.  I love the shapes and the textures.

[just_me_karen]

I love those ideas... Making a bird house would be cool. I have a lot of birds nesting around here.

Thanks Prim - and musical instruments too 🙂

It also says they are inedible as they have very little flesh and often taste bitter - sounds good enough reasoning for me lol
