winter greens
The winter garden is not as exciting as the summer garden, but there are still good things to eat - broccoli, spring onions, asian greens, herbs...the garden goes green…
...I eat the bok choy that has started to go to seed, I eat leaves off my red cabbages that are refusing to heart up - when you grow it yourself, you get less fussy and more resistant to waste.
I think if I didn’t have kids, I would eat big bowls of leafy greens steamed in soy sauce with a bit of rice, every night. At least, that’s what I’d eat on the nights I didn’t eat toast.

I am wearing 8 layers. Four of them wool. And yes, I am indoors.

I typed ‘Morrissey’ yesterday, and my spell-check suggested ‘morosely’.

When it gets this cold, I recommend carrying a discreet and elegant hip-flask of good whiskey at all times.
