Quite contrary, how does your garden grow?

With lots of gorgeous white tulips today. We had our morning coffee at Mountstewart today, with just a wander through the formal gardens instead of a long trek along the trails. The car park was really busy but we didn’t see many folk in the gardens - they must have gone further afield than us.

On the way home I stopped off to get some cooking apples, as I’m going to try making an apple, sultans and cinnamon tart again. My last one, just before Christmas, had a soggy bottom! I’ve bought myself a new holey baking dish so I’m hoping that the heat spreads better and cooks the tart all the way through. Fingers crossed!
