Raindrops, Wimbledon, Moroccan lamb and cherries!

Hello there, I have been so busy this week, I have spent a lot of time on the allotment, I have watched some tennis, cooked some beautiful meals, and picked some lovely juicy cherries from one of my cherry trees!

I made some Panna Cotta again on Monday, but instead of the gooseberry compote, I made a coulis using some fresh raspberries from the allotment - it was delicious.  Everything is very green at the moment, and while not everyone likes the rain, it has been great for the orchard plot, and there will be lots to pick over the coming weeks. There is a good crop of raspberries at the moment, in fact I picked a few today and I have a feeling that I will be making some jam very soon - maybe I could sell it?

On Tuesday I made some Moroccan lamb (nice recipe James), and today I rustled up a quick prawn linguine (see recipe below), but I spiced mine up with some salmon which I marinated in chilli and honey - both were delicious according to my husband!

The recipe today had to be quick and easy as I was engrossed in the tennis this afternoon, and forgot the time. I did have a nice bowl of fresh cherries to nibble on (from the plot), and I will be raiding the cherry trees again tomorrow. I went to put the chickens away tonight and I still have two broody hens, they haven't moved for nearly a week now, but we are getting plenty of nice fresh eggs I'm pleased to say.

Still broody!

I will be over on the plot early tomorrow and I am going to take some photos of the cherry trees and post them on here later in the evening. I also need to come up with another nice treat for tea tomorrow night so I will be looking for some inspiration, I'm sure that I'll find some.
