Spring!

I love Spring. Everything changes daily from the moment the snow started to melt ,the new buds and snow drops to extended daylight. But my most favorite spring things are the spring vegetables and fruits. Finally, after months of Leeks, Neeps and Tatties (Not that I dislike them I just would like a change) I can now see more than roots veggies in the market. Even the spring tatties has sprung! New potatoes are really the best this season and my favorite is still the one from Jersey, it's one of those potatoes that doesn't need a lot of work - just boil and serve it with a knob of butter. Delish.

I went to a market at the weekend and you should see what I got for a mere £5! A bunch of fresh asparagus (Devon grown apparently), a big bag of tomatoes (UK), a bag of mixed peppers (Dutch), a handful of limes and a kilo of Golden Delicious Apples. I will struggle to eat them all in a week but Roy and I have promised to try our best.
And I can't wait to go again this weekend (just) to see what I can get! Ooh, also because I saw the bluest blueberries on one of the grocerries but it was so expensive £4 for 250g so I'm hoping after a couple of days under the sun, my grocer would put the price down a bit.

Bring on Friday!




By the way, I'm going to endorse these Golden Delicious Apples as they are wonderful. Although I still prefer Royal Gala for sweetness, this type of apple is certainly a good change. And it certainly goes well colour-wise with my limes.
