Wow the weather, tis sublime 
This was a frugal tweet but is worth rehashing here – stuff does grow over winter albeit slowly: Planted over wintering onions in among the kale yesterday. Winter lettuce today.

These creamy white buttons make the most amazing white hot chocolate! See Cat's recipe on The Modern Housewife blog.
yes this last bit if summer (in autumn!!) has been lovely… but today here in West yorkshire it seems to be cloudy. Last night was horrribly hot though.
I do love looking through your blog and pics, you live in paradise! How do you manage to go on these amazing daytrips and eat all this good wholesome and delicious food? You must be rich
) (lucky things!).
I love the idea of home schooling for my two girls aged two and six but I don’t have the patience or confidence. Your home schooling looks so fun and well, educational…in an amazing way!!
BTW I have got to ask if you have tried vegusto cheese yet? It is sold in alternative stores and is from switzerland….They also have another one from Austria called vegourmet. I haven’t tried vegourmet yet but vegusto with herbs is amazing! I have been telling everyone vegan about it. Once you try it you must put a pic up on the blog and share with the world! It is the only vegan cheese I actually like!
Pouring with rain here today, am soaked after walk. We do live in a lovely place, not rich in traditional sense but richly blessed in many ways. Trips and wholesome food really don’t have to cost much – visits to beach in evening very cheap indeed!
not tried the cheese, we don’t really eat much of that sort of thing anymore…
I love the countryside… we have the moors which are beautiful and the kids like to have picnics out… in the dry weather anyway

We went to Fort William on our honeymoon which was gorgeous and we want to go on holiday to Bonnie Scotland… somewhere near a loch, gorgeous!
Your land to grow veg on looks divine, I am desperate for an allotment. Keep up the photos, I have been folllowing on and off for years and love looking at your foodie pics, drooling at them.
