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!
