NEWS & TIPS FOR FEBRUARY 2024
The long hot summer will be a welcome relief for many, especially after a year of almost constant rain. However, while we frolic in the sunshine our leaf tipped friends can be sweltering in the intense heat. Too much rain is arguably a more difficult problem than too much sun, but we need to make sure we tend to the needs of our plants in these conditions to get the absolute best out of them.
MEDITERRANEAN VEGETABLE SALAD WITH HALLOUMI
This summer salad is a perfect accompaniment to any lamb, fish or chicken dishes but is also a complete meal in its own right.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
As we race full speed ahead to Christmas there seems to be more jobs than hours in a day. So once you have finished your celebrations for the silly season remember to take some time to rest and relax.
CHRISTMAS RECIPE
A chocolate raspberry trifley thing adapted from a recipe from Nigel Slater. This dish has everything I love about Christmas, it's boozy, chocolatey and fruity and its meant to be served cold - perfect for our Christmas Climate. You can use your favourite tipple in this recipe - but a good sherry or brandy works best!

So be prepared for the unexpected.
