I learnt at the weekend that the Big Love Beetroot Brownie is not called Big Love without reason. This lovely couple got together whilst eating my delicious brownies over a year ago – they happily told me on Saturday that if it wasn’t for my Celestial intervention (in cake form) they may never have started going out together…never under estimate the power of the Big Love Beetroot Brownie. I’m wondering where next for my BLBB? Speed dating events perhaps???
It’s all go at the Celestial allotment space…courgettes planted; beetroots planted; strawberries starting to flower and my gooseberry bushes that I got last year from the market are thriving – very happy with my rhubarb too…I’m hoping this year for a reprieve from rain sodden, slug infested soil…please shine sun…that’s me under the netting by the way…
Some of you may have met Del Boy and Rodney Trotter at last years Ealing Transition Reskilling Event, They were raised at St Mary’s Vicarage Ealing. May I now introduce you to their successors – Trigger and Dave…actually they are lady pigs so we thought Raquel and Cassandra might be better names for them. Myself and a few friends have a share in Cassandra and hope to be sampling some piggy delights later in the year…you will be pleased to know that all my cake vegetable scraps are ending up at St Marys and are being put to good use….the pigs are already becoming quite famous and have found their way into the Ealing Gazette…it’s not often you see farmyard animals in someone’s back garden in Ealing – let alone a Rectory!
I’ll keep you posted on their progress…
