Aaaargh, get me outa here. Another day of heavy rain and it's also bloody cold. When is this awful, crap weather going to end? The day temperature isn't usually too bad but we're still lighting a fire at night. It's the middle of April and the pool should be starting to warm up by now. In previous years, Jan (the fool) has been in the pool by the end of April but so far this year I still haven't uncovered it.
The weather has obviously got to Jan as well because, at lunch, she served up a bowl of parsnip soup. Normally she only serves soup during colder, winter months. But, and it's a big but, this was no ordinary soup, it was a Janguedoc soup (very droll - Ed), made by hand with only the finest ingredients. Parsnips from Nimes (OK so I'm guessing here), onions from the Cevennes, potatoes from someone's garden, a pinch of curry powder from Sainsburys and chicken stock from, er... a chicken. And very, very nice it was too.
