My friend grew these lovely figs and I had to resist eating them before I photographed. Not enough for jam but delicious with some prosciutto and goats cheese.
Our paddocks are dotted with white specks and upon examination are delicious field mushrooms. They appear in autumn after rain in there dozens so I make use of my hydrater and dry some for winter risottos and pot meals.
It is incredible how much cutlery there is to collect. I like to know the use every piece had and the period in which it was used. I found, for instance sardine forks and ice spoons!! This collection will never end. In addition I collect scissors of every type and use, but they have to be old!
My friend, Margaret bought me these wonderful shears for trimming and shaping my buxus. What a godsend for painful hands. They are amazing. For a glimpse of a wonderful blog, go to Margaret Young-Whitford@blogspot.com.au. Very inspirational.
