Red Wharf Bay, Anglesey, North Wales.
My ex BFF, Kate, above, gave me this for my birthday!
Me & my new BFF toasting my health with a glass or two of Pol Roger Champagne. (Kate gave me that too, so maybe she can still be my BFF?)


Earlier this afternoon I dug up some potatoes for us to enjoy this evening, these are the first this year, also a salad/spring/scallion onion to enhance the potato salad that I'll be making.

Scarlet runner bean flowers.
Home again after a wonderful trip to the UK to celebrate my big 60, with family and friends.
I was concerned that the heatwave, that both UK and France have been enjoying (?) whilst we were away, would have wreaked havoc in the potager, but (big sigh of relief) all was well.
My BFF #2, in situ in the potager.

Hopefully I'll get another good crop this year, it wouldn't be summer without these beans. Should there be a glut, they do freeze very well, or maybe I could find a runner bean soup recipe somewhere on line?
Perhaps not, when I blogged about my lettuce soup recipe not everyone who saw it was convinced, but I swear it's delicious!
