The last of our homegrown tomatoes. Lovingly tended, carefully picked, gently roasted and quickly scoffed*!
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
* sorry, just to clarify we didn’t jeer, mock or heap derision on them, ‘scoff’ is brit slang – meaning to eat up very quickly!

They look most delicious!
Happy weekend… 🙂

Nothing better than homegrown tomatoes ^_^ Although I have failed (yet again!) to grow them, I really appreciate those of Mr H’s grandfather. Nothing better! Fortunately, potatoes do better in my garden, so all is not loss!
Have a lovely weekend.

you really can’t beat homegrown tomatoes. We didn’t grow any this year – luckily my Dad did and I’ve been pinching his! We are planning to grow our own strawberries next year as Leah loves them, so have sent off for them already!

Lovely tomatoes!
Regarding “scoff” – here in the U.S. (at least in southern California) a lot of people use “scarf.”

They look fab. I’ve only got one tomato on my plant and it is refusing to ripen… not enuff sun!

We’ve had a fair few tomatoes this year despite the rubbish summer – not as pretty as yours, but still very tasty!

Ha! That’s what I love about English blogs…as an Aussie…I get the language! We would also say ‘scarfed’ (although I don’t know if thats exactly the right spelling for it!). Jen

They look lovely, and home grown tomatoes are such a treat. The “Brit slang” of scoff must be akin to the American slang of “scarf” – meaning the same thing if I am understanding correctly.

You scoffed (at) them? No wonder they’re blushing! 🙂 Homegrown is the best! And I think scoffing and scarfing are the same thing on different sidesof the pond.
