It has been very hot today, hot and humid, though I have to say that I have not suffered much. It hasn’t been this hot for three years, so the weather people tell us.

The daily inspection of the cabbages, cauliflowers and young purple sprouting plants continues to turn up the odd caterpillar and cluster of eggs. We picked a cabbage today and Junko did something with it, to be eaten tomorrow. Our first of the season.


I like all nuts, but almonds are my favourite.
