Alan, finishing work early, has been pottering in the garden this afternoon. When he's outside, he quite often 'visits' me via my office window. You never know when his head will appear or what he might wave in front of the window. I was pleasantly suprised with his window antics today. He'd unearthed a bucket full of carrots that I'd completely forgotten about. I'd planted some close to the hedge and didn't think they'd amounted to much. I was wrong. There's enough there to make about 4 pints of carrot and ginger soup. OMG...........just when I was going to get the saucepan out he's returned to my window waving 2 handfuls of parsnips! Looks like it's going to be a vegetable soup now. I'm off to get these cooked up. They will do nicely for Saturday's private students.
