I harvested a pile of Purple Teepee beans from the garden today using Mum’s trug and have blanched and frozen them, just over 1kg in this first picking.

We’ve had a delightful evening that felt like being in a European city! Our favourite coffee shop, Home Ground,  is doing pizza evenings on Fridays through the summer and we sat outdoors with lots of other happy eaters, enjoying our wine and pizzas and quiet music, just a lovely and rather special evening – and  just what we needed.
