Thinking of a new title for my blog ... and a week of al fresco dining

No longer a diary about allotment life
I think I may have to change the title of my blog as I seem to be posting about anything but my allotment at the moment, everything is ticking over nicely but I have been working non-stop so I have spent very little time on the plot in the past couple of weeks.

No longer a blog about my allotment!

I did pay a visit yesterday before I went to work so that I could pick some beetroot, I've cooked it and I am going to put it in some vinegar, and if this weather stays with us for the week as forecast then I would imagine the beetroot will be gone by Friday! Why? because the cover is off the BBQ for the first time this summer, and I think a week of al fresco dining is on the cards in the Simpson household. That means lots of healthy eating as well so I will be raiding the allotment every day for some fresh produce!

We're sat outside now as I write this blog, enjoying the sunshine and listening to Absolute 80's, with a nice bottle of wine cooling in the fridge, and the BBQ ready to be lit. There's a nice breeze, you can smell sun cream and charcoal in the air, and for the first time this year it really feels like summer! I hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine, but remember to get your sun cream on and have plenty of fluids ... do I sound like my mum?

I worked yesterday for Farmers Fayre over at Mary Arden's Farm in Stratford upon Avon as there was a production of Macbeth during the evening by Oddsocks, I didn't think I was going to enjoy it but it was a comedy version and it was very funny. We did a BBQ with Pimm's, and there were lots of families there with deck chairs and picnics, it was a long day as I started at 11am and didn't arrive home until well past 11pm, but I must say it was quite enjoyable.

I think I deserve a day off today and I am signing off now so that I can enjoy the afternoon in the garden.
