What a week!

Our weather has been crazy this week. It started off so cold that the central heating came on, a friend resorted to a hot water bottle to stay warm and we’ve had so much rain that our “butts”/barrels were overflowing. The hail stones were huge and the strong winds have ruined my peonies…. In spite of all this we have been able to enjoy cucumbers from the greenhouse and plenty of salad leaves too. We have a mixture of rocket, pea shoots and several types of lettuce. Sometimes I add cooked and chilled asparagus to our bowl of greenery. On Fridays it often accompanies our steaks – we are lucky to have an excellent butcher nearby and always choose fillets – “Filet Friday”. I’m looking forward to adding our own tomatoes and peppers in due course. How’s your garden doing? x
