Now harvesting lettuce,salad leaves,chard and radish after having quite a prolonged period cutting purple sprouting broccoli in the "hungry gap".

Berlin to see Runrig

A two night visit to see Runrig at the Spandau Citedal in lovely weather.Too wrapped up in the music and atmosphere to take any photos at the concert but took some on my walk through the Tiegarten and along part of the Wall before the evening gig and the next day in Potsdam and on the River Havel cruise.
