The garden a month on as the flowers begin to come into bloom.
Bluebells emerging at last (I didn't know this is what they were all this time - I have been mowing them for the past two years).
The lovely scented lilac:
Garlic, onion and chives:
Newly planted box hedge in the front garden:

And freshly harvested nettles (you have to wear gloves to collect these):
This is spinach frying up with onions:
This is nettle soup:
A bowl of nettle soup and a piece of bread:
A plate of spinach and a dollop of yogurt:
It fills a hole until we get the shopping in.
The bounties of our Lord.
