Ooh look I’ve just found how to do a slideshow….. :)

Here is one I made a while ago – the one I wanted to take the picture of was whipped away by my neighbour – she came with three baby tomato plants to trade me for a fresh loaf on Sunday morning. I think I get a pretty good deal. The bread is a Golspie Loaf made from a Dan Lepard recipe in the HandMade Loaf with a rye leaven starter and a soft oat coating. I get asked for this one over and over, it’s baked in a springform tin and is easy peasy!

Garden and Woodland Pics for Celia

There are so many little things I want to show you in the garden- here are a few for now.

Celia asked for pictures but I hope anyone else dropping by will have a quick look!

Snakeshead Fritillary – my favourite native spring bulb! (fritillaria meleagris) Extraordinary and unique as far as I know

Fritillaria meleagris

Apple blossom any day now – three different sorts on the family tree

Primroses from my neighbour’s garden. We trade plants and bread!

The Buddha sitting next to the brunnera ‘jack frost’ contemplating irises in leaf

AND down in the woods….

Swathes of wild garlic (allium ursinum) for Celia! No bulbs but you can pick the leaves and the white flower heads when they appear in a couple of weeks time.
