Oh Elizabeth you're still there? Goodness what an adventure you're on...I imagine there will be many inspirations for your new home ahead! Sending love, Mx
Oh goodness...now I want one too! Please let me know when you find one :)) By the way...your rose is coming into bloom...I'm beginning to think it's reverting to type - it's a paler pink - the colour of a musk stick. I'll send a photo when more are fully out but this is all a very curious thing...and I'll explain further at length because I'm beginning to tie in three...if I'm right...X
The poppies are absolutely gorgeous as are your roses, but I focussed on the ice cream this week… I am definitely going to try that ice-cream and find the sugar you use, I do normally use caster sugar or cheat and make Stephanie Alexander’s Lemon Curd and add it to a litre of good quality vanilla ice cream. I do have a recipe for lemon ice cream which is 600ml of thickened cream, 1 cup caster sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice and two tabs finely grated lemon rind, it only needs to be mixed once, and as you said, not overly whipped. Of course you can use limes as well. But back to your recipe, there is plenty of marmalade in our pantry so no excuse for me not to make ‘Maggies’ recipe. Thank you. 🤗
A lovely read with my morning cup of tea. Orange blossom scent in the lobby of our final Riad 🧡. You’ve reminded me how I love Philadelphus and must plant one at some stage in my new home. Your energy and talent never ceases to amaze me Mickey xx
Your post reminds me that I’m missing poppy season at home, Mickey. I think my wandering days are going to be severely curtailed in future, not least because of what I’m missing in the garden!!
It might be time for a chat with Ross Roses, too. I have Rosa canina sown by birds all over our farm, but am very keen to find a Rosa eglantaria . They are identical EXCEPT that when the leaves of the latter are crushed, they smell like apples. My gypsy heart always hopes to find a wild or graveyard specimen, but time is running out for that…
Sounds like you have some cream whipping to do Sally!!! Let me know how it goes :)) xx
