It was a real delight to be back on my faithful old Seek & the Brooks saddle is perfect.
Tolpuddle for lunch
Ratatouille, with tomatoes, aubergine and capsicum from the garden, and bangers
A hipster breakfast of crushed avocados on focaccia with cherry tomatoes, redeemed by a manly poached egg, at the Old Granary, Wareham, beside the River Frome.
The Exquisite Adonis Blue
The Adonis Blue, loveliest of all the blue butterflies and rivalled only, perhaps, by the White Admiral as a thing of delicate wonder in flight, lending its grace to the beauty of the chalk uplands of southern England. This is the butterfly of our joyous childhood excursions to Hod Hill, where, I hope, it will continue to flourish long after the footprints of rapacious men fade from view. LJ
