Nibbling my way around the garden
So far, I've eaten raspberries, a cucumber, peas and mangetout. Reduces the food miles to about 2 feet

Finally pinning KK down to a date for a holiday Off in the camper on Saturday for a week in Spain - longer if I can get good wifi for him!

Ooh, and my car back from my friend who borrowed it - with a new battery that she bought and wouldn't let me pay her for.
