THE GOOD LIFE:

The owl & the pussy-cat went to sea in a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey & plenty of money wrapped up in a five pound note...................................................
They dined on MINCE & slices of QUINCE which they ate with a runcible spoon,
And hand in hand, by the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon.
EDWARD LEAR 1871:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can supply the MINCE & SLICES OF QUINCE, so if you've got the honey & plenty of money, we'll buy a pea green boat & the two of us can dance by the light of the moon . Oh what fun !

We planted an orchard at the top of the section; this is where we trimmed the walnut trees a few days ago. And right next door I have a hen run.
IT IS THE GOOD LIFE !
