Green shoots

The sun shone today! So I had to go out for a walk. As well as these clear signs of life, close inspection of otherwise dormant looking vines showed sparkling droplets indicating that the sap is rising.

I wrote a blog entry about my vintage cookbook, Michael Smith's Fine English Cookery, published in 1973. Features the recipe for Maids of Honour. But not for pineapple and curry soup, you'll be glad to hear, although you do get a photo!
