Lockdown affects everyone, just in different ways. I don’t mind being alone, and like many writers, prefer it most of the time. Not having so many emails to deal with is a bonus. But I truly am desperate to garden. My little Podular housette is delayed, of course – the site is all ticked off and ready…
I’ve got a friend. He’s a bit spiky and he’s very shy. Still, it’s nice to have someone pop by.

Yep, it’s been busy around here with trucks and diggers beeping and buzzing and men in hi-vis and hats. The progress with the ground work for my housette has been hampered by rain, but finally this week the digger arrived and work commenced. You can see more in the pic and link below.

A few grates of lemon zest brings these eggplant crostini alive.
Spag in a skillet? Sure. As long as it is deep enough! But, best only cook for 1 or 2 maximum.
It’s easy when you know how!

I cooked your roast fillet of beef with herb crust tonight – must be 4th time!! – and it’s perfection every time! Really love your blog – can’t tell you how much I cook out of it – and your book is well splattered!! cheers
This is so simple it hardly calls for a recipe. Peel and slice juicy oranges, top with sliced vine tomatoes, sprinkle with small mint leaves and finely sliced green chilli, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, grind over black pepper and drizzle with a fruity extra virgin olive oil. Done! A striking, sweet and zingy salad…
