Veg box success

Community Supported Agriculture scheme, CSA for short. Until a few hours ago I had never heard of this amazing scheme, or Woodhouse Farm & Garden, and I can’t understand why not. I’ve just got back from visiting Woodhouse Farm and Garden, and chatting with the...

Day 34

I had a wonderful break in Greece at the beautiful Neilson Sivota Retreat the food was amazing, lots of local fresh salads and so it was easy to eat fairly healthily (I was on holiday after all!). We were delayed on the way home so we had no other option than to buy...

So far it has been remarkably easy, I've done a shop at the greengrocers, had breakfast and shopped at the farm shop and I have a fridge full of food. My biggest challenge at the minute is lunches - tomorrow we have layered salad. My second challenge is how little I'm...

It never ceases to amaze me when I speak to hard working friends and colleagues and they tell me, almost with a touch of bravado that they either don't eat breakfast, or lunch, or both. It astounds me how people expect to make decisions or use machinery when their...
