The Best Tea

Great, isn't it 

I was given some thinned / pulled carrots yesterday, and had them for tea with my first dug spuds.

Mmmmmm

We had Kale , baby Turnips and roasted Courgettes from the lottie with our dinner today. 

I know how you feel. Just had some braised beef accompanied by all own grown - spuds, onions and beetroot. Even the beef was reared and slaughtered only 3 miles away so very low food miles.

Brilliant.
Reading about food miles with my sons has really encouraged us all to try harder on the home grown front. I can't believe some of our potatoes come from half way across the globe, it's not as if they are hard to grow here! Even on shop bought produce we are now looking closely at where they were grown. Mind you I myself haven't started doing this on our meat supplies as being not so rich I do just buy the best cheapest stuff I can find, hopefully when funds allow I will be able to find more local produce.
