Dandelions for dinner

When you have lemons, you can always make lemonade; when your garden is abundantly filled with dandelions about to go to seed, you can take out a frying pan and make Flame’s ‘Famous Chattelay’ (definitely French-sounding!). It looks like there’s going to be some sort of stew for pudding too…

We spent a sunny day mowing the lawn, replacing some worn parts on the swing and exploring the woodland next to us. Some branches I had used to mend a hole in our fence had gone missing last year and I was worried that someone had taken them away so they could wreak havoc in our garden, etc., but it turned out they had been snaffled by persons unknown (although I have my suspicions!) to make a shelter in the middle of the spinney. They’d done a pretty good job actually – shame they didn’t have any good foliage to make it waterproof too! As a response, I’m going to put some more big prunings by the fence to see it they want to enlarge the shelter with it.

It was so great to have a picnic in the garden and go barefoot again. All my fruit trees are blossoming too. Ah, I love this time of year.
