Iâm really looking forward to all the veg that will hopefully be materializing, as Iâve tasted home grown before and always found they have so much more flavour with everything Iâve planted, if it all comes good, could be overwhelmed
But only if itâs an indeterminate variety!!

Today was shaping up to be rubbish, but my darling daughter got medical test results back after a long anxious wait, the much hoped for news has ruled out cancer đ„č. Hopefully they will diagnose what the problem is soon but Iâll settle for what itâs not .

This skinny chap strolled into our house about three weeks ago, posted in the usual places but no response!
Because my mind has been scrambled with soo many RDVâs my kind neighbours took him to the vet for a check up. The good news is, pussy is fine and the neighbours want to adopt himâŠwoohoo! He looks like a disney cat with the most beautiful blue eyes.

We were given a present of a box full of steak, bavettes and rumpsteak by the farmer who uses our field this morning.

No, but I can honestly cut down on buying meat.
I had my first swim of the season today as well.

AhâŠcourgette flowers deepfried in a light batter. I finally saw the point of lazing on a deckchair under an umbrella on the beach when we stayed in Ăze, went to a private beach (another new thing for me) near the hotel, and there were waiters running up and down bringing cold drinks and deep fried courgette flowers.
âI could get used to this.â

But they are a bugger to do at home! I tried once and ended up with a mess. Now stick to fish and chips, and get my fried courgette flowers in a restaurant. I now shred the flowers and add them to salads.

I grew tomatoes here many years ago and had such an overwhelming crop I didnât know what to do with them all. In the end I made jars and jars of chutney, some of which are still cluttering up the place. Havenât had the courage to try one yet.
