As a rule, I collect veg for dinner last thing in the evening – I rarely think about what to eat much beforehand!  But with a bleak sky threatening and spots of rain, a dash to the washing line was followed by a quick harvest of crinkly chard, broccoli stalks, a sprig or two of parsley and a lone rose bound for a wintry kitchen table. 

Enjoy what promises to be a chilly weekend everyone!
