[Gordon Steadman]

It is...or has been! Ronnie is a professional er...horticulturist (that's what her certificates say) or as she is wont to put it - gardner. I mow the grass.

The whole place is becoming a bit much for us now as we age and that is one reason why we are selling up. Several of the plots have now been sewn to grass - cheers, more work for me - but she still keeps up the food production.

We have a thing about not eating any pre-prepared food. We like to know what's in the food we eat. It does make for some work but worth it both for flavour and safety.

I can smell a rabbit on the stove now......all those fresh herbs adding to the aroma
