At last...

the high street are waking up to the quality of Sardinian wine.

The New Court, Usk

The better half is paying, so I'll have the scallops with a bacon, cabbage and cream reduction to start.

Weekend highlight

At the back of our house on a plot no bigger than most families' living room table we have a dozen raspberry canes.

My greatest pleasure this weekend was hearing my grandson, Max, ask, 'Bampi?Can I pick some was-be-wees?', after which he spent twenty minutes filling his face with as many of of them as he could grab before his mam and dad bundled him into their camper van and headed off to Symonds Yat for the weekend.

Fruits of our labours

First batch of blackcurrants from the allotment.
