A morning at the allotment, strimming the grass, and sowing carrots, spinach and mini turnips.  It was glorious in the sunshine and just perfect temperature for working.  I spotted a fox sitting in the shade under a near by tree.  

I returned home and joined Andy and Alexander for Andy's post-poned birthday lunch at an Indian restaurant in Emsworth.  It opened in the winter and has had very good reviews and we'd been meaning to visit for sometime.  It did not disappoint, the food was delicious.

The afternoon was spent entertaining the dog, going for a walk around the village and making soup with some over wintered carrots and parsnips from the allotment - I wasn't sure if they would be too woody but they were fine.
