[So, I've decided to start blogging again ... my previous blog Fearlessknitting was all about living abroad and I loved writing up my adventures. Living back in the UK ... well ... it's been tough to keep on seeing life as an adventure in its coldest and greyest moments.

Lunch ended up being a salad of shelled broad beans and peas with mint-rosemary dressing, all swirled together in a very hot pan with sharp, raw garlic just before serving. To bulk it out I halved an 'old spot' pork pie from the farm shop along with poppy rolls and butter. White wine would have been perfect but a glass of lime squash did the trick ... then I set about wondering what to do with all those Strawberries and Raspberries:
