We had a salad for tea today. Little Gem lettuce (which incidentally is my first choice when I grow our own lettuce), onion and chives all chopped up as that’s easiest for us. I just put these in a plastic box to which I also added quartered cherry tomatoes before mixing it up and putting a portion on each plate – no salad dressing btw, no one here wants it. Also on the plate were slices of boiled beetroot, Aran Pilot potatoes (the one thing that did come from our garden’) with butter and Camembert, St Agur and Cheshire cheese.

Pudding was jelly with a can of pineapple chunks added and vanilla ice cream.

Parents enjoyed it, especially mum although she also had another reason to be happy. She’s had a lot of problems with her legs and I think today was the first day this year that she’s managed to get outside on her own. Needless to say, she wanted her tea outside in the sunshine. I’ll have to see how she’s fixed for getting back indoors in a bi.
