In the absence of any significant activity in the food producing parts of the household, I have had some time on my hands. This has resulted in the birth of a new forum called East Of England Slow Food. It's a Yahoo! group and is dedicated to the proposition that there are always gluts of foodstuffs such as courgettes and pumpkins (my current concern) and it would be nice to hear if anyone has some good ideas as to how to cope.

So, if you have a great recipe, would like one, know a good food/seed/knowledge source or would like to have a chat about anything to do with this stuff, click on the button on the top left of this screen and you will be welcomed into the fold!

Oh, and, just in passing, Rosie, The Smallest Dog In The Area, found and bit a huge rat on the field yesterday. It didn't go much on that and bit her back, on the nose. A subsequent visit to the Vet set me back £40.68! Just for a course of anti-biotics! Out-bloomin'-rageous, innit?!!

What ho!
