Chocolate Pudding and Crocosmia

After seeing the physio this afternoon and my lovely Mr S being signed off as he is doing so well, I decided we needed a celebratory pudding and as we had some pears that needed eating up, I made Squidgy Chocolate Pear Pudding and it was, indeed, scrumptious.

It’s Crocosmia season and the hedges along the lanes are full of the bright orange variety, Common Montbretia.  We have that all along the top of our Cornish hedge up the side of the garden and in the beds we have a beautiful golden one and a scarlet one.

Like many of you, I’m sure, I find that the events in the world right now can be overwhelming and in writing my blog, I try to focus on the beautiful things all around us. Today,  a post by Suzy whom I follow,  spoke of the situation in Gaza and I thought you may (or may not) like to read it too. Here it is if you’d like to.
