Contrasts

The weather yo-yos from rain (20mm in the night) to cool sun to rain this later afternoon (extra).

We’ve had a request in from New York for more culinary shots. The last of the squash and spud soup ( you’ll be glad it don’t travel) with a basil and walnut pesto with Umbrian EV olive oil care of the Dalkey Archivist and the third pick of the bacelli- the broad beans planted so long ago last autumn - with a lettuce from the garden and the Tuscan EUI special grade olive oil and balsamic as thick as tar and as sweet as sin.
