Food & creatures







An odd title with this post!

The cherries have now all gone but I thought I might share this photo with you of a delicious 'clafoutis' that Tine made - a bit calorific for healthier eaters, but scrumptious.

Next to prove there's a bit of home here: Yorkshire puds that accompanied a wonderful roast beef we cooked last week. Some of you might not know that just as we call the French 'frogs' we Brits are known as 'ros-bif'!

The 3rd photo shows our one and only artichoke which is now no more. Fingers crossed we can keep the plants safe from next winter's frosts so that we can grow more - we've got enough plants!

Outside we have our first aubergine flowers which hopefully will transform into one of my favourite vegetables. Next, a strange photo - we saw hundreds of tiny snails (with parents?) on our neighbours wall. That's why we have to put pellets down.

And finally the return of our fluorescent green friend (is it a gecko?) who is much less timid than the many lizards in our garden. He seemed to have made his home under the ex-tent.
