It has been such a good week for greens. I was spoilt for choice. Also came back with two bunches of purple sprouting and a ridiculously big cabbage!

Thank you. Just the sort of gold my garden needs. (Crocuses on their way.)

Hi Katie, that was made about 15 years ago and I honestly haven’t a clue. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen them before. They look as if they are halves of ravioli ready to stuffed! So sorry not be able to help. I’m as mystified as you. If I find out I’ll be in touch. 😊

A rainy morning in Ilkley, Yorkshire. So snuggled up at Betty’s Tea Rooms with avocado toast and the awesome Elif Shafak’s There are Rivers in the Sky.
