Phew!

What a week this has been – we were hot in France last weekend but the heat here has become more intense as the days have gone by. There has been a slight breeze in the garden so it’s been pleasant to sit out under a garden umbrella, usually accompanied by the cat, who’s finding this very tough. What has been lovely though is hearing the laughter of the children on the beach, with just the occasional jet-ski passing by. Hot to cook, for sure, but this afternoon I made some Strawberry and Almond Tarts. I find that strawberries get a bit boring as the season goes on so using them in this way is just more interesting. They can sit on top of Little Lemon Cups too. There are more hot days to come, but no doubt we’ll get the rain that’s been forecast – let’s hope it happens at night 😉
