My Stash of Cornish Blue
Earlier in the month, I bought 5kg of Cornish Blue cheese at a bargain price. Most of it went in the freezer.
But now I’m low on cheese in the fridge, so yesterday, I got a pack of of it out to defrost.

Getting it to fit.
When you order something and it doesn’t fit, it is disappointing. When you order something having measured carefully and compared to the item description it is infuriating.
Côte at Home
Côte at Home is a fairly new food delivery service run by the french restaurant chain Côte Brasserie. The food is produced in one of Côte’s centralised kitchens, which already supply several of the chain’s outlets. The prices are reasonable – in line with similar items from M&S and Waitrose, I would say, and the food has been well reviewed. Here’s Jay Raynor’s take on the service.
Soup!
It’s been a while since I last used my soup maker. I’m not sure why, cos it is so easy.
But I recently bought 5kg of Cornish Blue cheese, discounted due to Covid-19 and reduced sales to restaurants. Most of it has been vacuum packed and stored in my freezer, but I kept some to use now; and by coincidence Riverfords have sent me two large brocolli heads.
A New Look
A new look for the site.
The theme I use for this site – Magazine Premium – started throwing errors after my migration and software update, saying it was incompatible with the current versions.
Veg Trough Update, June 2020
The work that went into clearing and and rejuvenating my vegetable troughs seems to be paying off. All but one of my troughs are doing great … all in all, I don’t think it is a bad showing. Later, I will take some pictures of my tomatoes and fruit plants.
Reusing My Garden Furniture
My garden furniture is 8 years old, and I really haven’t taken the care of it that I should.
It was on my list of things to do for a long time, so when I hired some gardeners to do some work, stripping and retreating it was high on the list.
However, I am considering an alternative.
A Tough Trough.
For the first time in about 4 years, I have all 4 of my vegetable troughs planted with vegetables. But boy, that 4th one was tough.
Brusseling Things Along
I planned a trip to the garden centre today. With nothing to plant in my recently cleared third veg trough (of four), and not yet having any herbs for my recently bought VegTrug Herb Table, I needed to do some shopping.
New Growth
My garden has gone through a couple of years of neglect. This started with a year where I did very little, then when faced with the work needed to bring it all back, simply procrastinated.
