I've been seeing Aggie quite a lot these days, and these pictures were taken on Monday. Aggie was friendly as usual, saying her usual "meeeoooowwwww" when I called her name, but when she settled on one of the veggie patches (which she's not supposed to!), I couldn't even get her to move! She just sat there happily:

And she cleaned herself up as well. When cats wash behind their ears, people believe that it will rain the next day, but the funny thing was that, when Aggie washed behind her ears, it got really sunny the next day! Whooooopppppsssss......

I tried to get her off the veggie patch, and she gave me this look:

"Go away! I'm on my break!"

Wow, it's been a week since the opening of the kitchen garden! Our garden beds are growing really well, and some of the veggies from the other beds were even harvested yesterday!

Last week was really beautiful before the cold snap on Friday, which brought temperatures down to 15 degrees - something that we shouldn't experience in mid-October. And on the day of the kitchen garden opening, it was rather cloudy but still quite comfy.

Pictures outside the kitchen garden:

The kitchen garden itself. It was pretty quiet at first, but people started streaming in shortly after. We arrived pretty early and met Aggie along the way.

Our guest-of-honour - Stephanie Alexander. She was a resident of our college when she was in university, and she had always been interested in kitchen gardening, as well as cooking. She's one of the best chefs ever, and she's published lots of books. Oh, and not to mention, she has a really good sense of humour and has been travelling around the world, to many countries. I really enjoyed her speech, and was greatly honoured to be able to shake her hand after that.

Our kitchen garden was named after her, and here she is - cutting the ribbons to unveil the sign.

After that she signed books and spoke to many people. We spoke to her too, and she was really pleasant and friendly.

After that we basically mingled around and spoke to other guests. We just happened to speak to one of the academic visitors here in college, and their son was busy posing for the camera. He wasn't even camera-shy at all:

Finger food that we had during the gathering:

After that we hung around, played with Aggie, while the rest of the guests left. It was a rather simple gathering, but we were so honoured to be able to meet Stephanie Alexander - a really pleasant, yet superb celebrity.

Right, that's about it for now! Thanks lots for viewing and I might put pictures from the production up pretty soon!
