Isn't it amazing what a mood enhancer the lovely weather can be? I have just got back from a really lovely few days on the mostly sunny Isle of Wight. Lots of time was spent strolling along the seafront, catching up with very dear friends and generally chilling out. As I sat on Cowes green eating my almond Magnum it struck me how lovely the south of England is in the summer- with the Extreme cats sailing by making it all feel slightly glamorous (until the mad scramble for a tissue as Henry's mini-milk melted all down him).
I was also lucky enough to be treated to a delicious dinner of pumpkin and goat's cheese tarts with home grown salad at my in-laws last night. The tart in question was courtesy of Mr Tesco, but it is something that I will definitely be making in the future- simple and delicious, my kind of food. I might also try a variation of it with courgettes since I am still working my way through our glut. I love this time of year with all the delicious home-grown gems it offers, although I am much more the cooker than the grower when it comes to veggies.
