from my garden
Things are going very well with the new hours and with the addition of our espresso machine. Thanks to all of you who have been coming to the shop. I have just finished writing another cookbook and a huge weight has been lifted. I have some seeds that I am going to plant in the garden and finally have the time to do it!
These violets grow along one of the beds and I am planning to put in some rocket leaves and echinacea. I also have my eye on some hazel that I am going to use as bean poles. A little early yet, but I am really looking forward to getting them into the ground.
Any tips welcome x

I was given dozens of roses by a photographer friend recently after he had completed a Valentine’s Day shoot.
The buckets of them filled the back of my old Mercedes estate and when a friend walked me to my car, she proclaimed, Mrs. Dalloway! I laughed and nodded. It reminded me how much I love that book. Worth a re-read.
What are you reading at the moment?
Also, have you seen that we extended our hours of operation?
