The Luneor courgettes are already coming thick and fast. First few are ready to pick this week.
These ones won't be sliced. They'll be hollowed out, stuffed and baked whole. 🌱🥒 #kitchenharden
This week’s sourdough bake: a rustic country loaf at 81% hydration.
A crisp, blistered crust and a soft, open crumb. Toasted and spread with Seville marmalade, it’s a killer combination. #Sourdough
Last week’s walk in the woods to catch the last of the bluebells. A carpet of blue as far as the eye could see, and for a while the world and all its angst felt very far away. This is my happy place. #bluebells 🪻🌳🪻🌳
Blueberry patch
First Senshyu onions lifted, planted in September and worth the wait. Some real beauties among them. They’ll spend the next fortnight curing in the greenhouse, until the skins are papery and ready for storing. #kitchengarden 🧅🧅
First blueberries ready this morning 🫐. Duke variety. Not the finest blueberry I grow, but they arrive before the others and this morning's crop is heading straight for my yoghurt. #kitchengarden
Happy Summer Solstice.
This morning’s kitchen garden haul: elephant garlic, Romanesco courgettes and round Luneor courgettes.
Not a bad start to the day. ☀︎⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

A blue tit fledgling 🐦took an unscheduled trip out of its nest this morning. What followed was a race between my husband, Vincent, and Luna the cat to see who could reach it first. Thankfully Vincent won and the baby is back where it belongs.
