So impatience has finally got the better of me and I decided I was not prepared to wait until next year for my sweet williams to bloom in my hanging basket. So I have flung the offending plants on the compost and replaced them with some beautiful white dahlias, which smell divine as well as looking purdy as a picture!
This evening Steve has been a star chef, cooking up some delicious River Cottage 'Spicy North African Lamb Burgers with Minty Yoghurt' on the barbecue. He even made the flatbreads himself, flavoured with cumin, cinnamon and crushed coriander seeds, topped off with a yoghurty dressing containing our very own mint leaves. Nom, nom, nom!
Just need to add how jealous I am of those of you heading off to Chelsea over the next few days, how I wish I was able to go. Big congratulations to my friend CJ Munn whose stunning, saucy sculptures are causing a stir in the Foreign and Colonial Investments Garden. Please do vote for her garden in the RHS 'people's choice' awards!
nom nom nom indeed!

The smell of bbqs wafted through the air over the weekend and I was so jealous but I'll be making everyone jealous with this recipe, thanks for suggesting it x x
ReplyDeleteGood luck to your friend - and those burgers look really scrummy!

Nice one Steve! Can you send him over here to cook my tea?
ReplyDeleteWow, Steve did you proud. I suspect that if you looked at Earth from outer space this weekend, you'd have been able to see the UK through a haze of BBQ smoke!
ReplyDeleteI'm so disappointed that you're not coming to Chelsea too. We must do it together one year.
