The Aroma of Fruit and Freshwater Fish

My first proper day as a 100 mile dieter began when I returned home following a 24 hour shift at work (I kid you not) and realised I couldn't take a lovely hot mug of Earl Grey into the bath with me.
Bollocks, I thought, I'll have to make do with a refreshing mug of Hawthorn leaves that our dear friend, Barbara, had picked for us, instead.
A strange sort of brew, Hawthorn leaves. I sank back in the water and stirred to the aroma of fruit and freshwater fish, leaving me with a curious sensation, a taste in my mouth that made me wonder if I had just consumed apple juice and trout oil in equal measure.
I duly fell asleep and dreamed of rosehips.

    It's about time you started drinking beer.
    It's delicious and nutricious and there's a brewery just down the road.
    I'm sure they'll tell you if their hops are grown locally and the water is probably sucked from the mighty river Thames.
    When you have beer you don't need anything else.

a Plea for Butter

The one item we are struggling to locate a regular supply for within 100 miles, is butter. Please help! The butter we found so far is either made from the cream on the top of the Duchy Milk or else from a tiny place in sussex that we cant go back to for a while.

Why We Love Weeds

Plants for a Future are like me, advocates of weed gardening. Here's why: http://www.pfaf.org/user/cmspage.aspx?pageid=44 Things have been very intense for the past couple of years while we are setting up home but the garden is beginning to get some attention at last and some of the Goblin's fruits are being planted...so the blog will begin to revive this year.
